An AI-powered air quality intelligence platform built to make pollution data visible, understandable, and actionable for every Indian city.
Vaayu Darshiya began as a college bootcamp project built by three students who wanted to do something about a problem they lived with every day — Delhi's air quality. Existing pollution dashboards often felt either too technical for everyday use or too vague to act on, so the team set out to build something that combined real-time monitoring with genuinely useful, ML-driven guidance.
The project focuses on nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and ozone (O₃), two pollutants closely tied to traffic emissions and sunlight-driven photochemical reactions, and which carry real health consequences for sensitive groups. Using historical air quality data, the team engineered features, trained prediction models, and built a backend capable of serving live forecasts alongside health-focused recommendations.
What started as a class assignment grew into a full-stack application — a live map of monitoring stations, 24-hour pollutant trend forecasting, AI-generated insights, and clear health guidance for vulnerable groups. Vaayu Darshiya represents the team's effort to make air quality data not just visible, but genuinely actionable for the people who need it most.
Data & Feature Engineering
Responsible for the entire data pipeline — sourcing raw air quality and weather data, cleaning it, and transforming it into meaningful inputs for the prediction models. Designed the features that help the model understand patterns across time, seasons, and locations.
Key Contributions
Backend & Model Training
Built the server that powers all real-time predictions and trained the machine learning models at the core of the platform. Handled everything from model selection and tuning to creating a system that delivers forecasts instantly when a user visits the site.
Key Contributions
Frontend & Documentation
Designed and built the entire user-facing experience — from interactive maps and live charts to health advisories and data exports. Focused on making complex air quality data easy to understand and visually engaging across all screen sizes.
