Actor Kunal Kapoor's ingenious urban survival kit

Actor Kunal Kapoor has conceptualized a novel 'Survival kit for Indian cities,' proposing ingenious engineering solutions to tackle common urban difficulties. As of 2026-02-12T12:19:05+00:00, these imaginative products are aimed at enhancing the daily lives of city dwellers.

Kapoor's first concept is selective noise-cancelling headphones, utilizing AI to filter out specific disruptive sounds like horns while preserving conversations and essential ambient noises. He also envisions glasses designed to project serene forest scenes, offering a visual reprieve from the concrete jungle.

Addressing pollution, Kapoor's ideas include a specialized cap that generates an air curtain to deflect dust and contaminants, enhanced with an auto-boost function for traffic lights. Additionally, he proposed 'Pothole Pogo™,' a shock-absorbing device made from carbon fiber, engineered to absorb impacts from uneven road surfaces common in Indian cities.
