Damini has invented some unique products and is now the director of her own company, the Non-Drip Teapot company. After inventing the non-drip teapot, Damini set up a company to market her products. As Damini runs her company alone, her day is extremely varied. She may have meetings with clients and potential manufacturers of her teapot, or she could be involved with PR, often having at least on media interview a day. While doing all this, she also finds time to work as a freelance designer, perhaps designing a brochure or new prodcuts for companies, and to orgainise inventors' exhibitions and, of course, inventing her own products.

It was Damini's lifelong ambition to become an inventor, and since the age of five she has been actively designing solutions to problems that she has encountered. This led her to read Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (University of London), after which she went on to obtain a Masters degree in Engineering Product Design at South Bank University. 'I then decided to tackle the problem of the dripping spout that had baffled engineers for centuries.' In just three months, Damini had solved the puzzle, and invented a spout design which prevents dripping with any pouring technology, from petrol pumps to watering cans, and which can be mass-manufactured from any material. She went on to set up her own company and is now negotiating for world-wide manufacture of her inventions.

'I regularly give presentations at schools and careers conventions I hope that I can inspire young girls and boys to become engineers or inventors. I want them all to know that anything is achieveable if you believe in it and believe in yourself.'

Damini wishes to carry on inventing and has already started work on her second major invention. She wants to see her non-drip teapot on sale, but does not mind if it is sold in a market stall or in a department store, as long as someone buys it and enjoys it.
