Paramveer Bhachu (QM 2010-17)

Paramveer and his business partner Joanna Power, who is a member of the Brunel University Entrepreneurs Society, have won the prestigious global competition, Red Bull Basement 2020, with their invention of the Aqua Lava X.

They came up with the idea for a portable electric washing machine, which makes doing laundry easier and cheaper and is environmentally friendly by using water collected from your shower to wash the clothes.

Following a 60-second pitch video describing their idea they were chosen to represent their country and go forward to the global competition. Then, the development phase began where teams had 30 days to further explore their ideas with industry experts’ help. This led to the global workshop and final, where the top ten groups pitched their final solutions (on-line). Paramveer and Joanna were delighted to be awarded the win amongst some very stiff competition.

Their focus now is to get the Aqua Lava X to market.
