Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Ushva is a verified IoT/CleanTech company established in 2015 by IIT Bombay alumni, offering legitimate industrial hardware (Flowlinc) and monitoring solutions. However, the project submission is of very low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and audience 'everyone'). While the company has survived for ~10 years and raised angel funding (Triton Solar), its annual revenue remains small (~$100k range), indicating a niche SME rather than a high-growth startup. The discrepancy between the professional description and the nonsensical traction claims significantly penalizes the score.
