Furthermore, as a part of the Junior Academy of the New York Academy of Sciences, he has conducted extensive research on several topics, from using spirulina to deal with malnutrition in pregnant women and young children to finding innovative solutions to the problems facing the health monitoring industry and integrating those solutions in intelligent homes, and from making transportation sustainable and energy-efficient to finding innovative solutions to fight COVID-19. Moreover, Abhinav led his team to win the New York Academy of Sciences Space Challenge that dealt with colonizing the moon for which he will be awarded at the Global STEM Alliance Summit in New York. Abhinav has also published two research papers namely, "The Lagging Behind of Indian education System," and "Understanding the Labour Issues in Indian Economy" in "Global Journals" and "Think India" Journal respectively.

Moreover, the guy has received numerous awards and accolades on both national and international levels. To name a few: National Student of The Year award for two consecutive years by Global SOTY Foundation, National Rank 1 in National Science Concours, NTSE (National Talent Search Examination) Scholar, Excellence Award in All India Proficiency Oxyopia (STEM).
