The seven-year-old company, launched in February 2014 by Rajith Nair and Prasanth Thankappan, won the honor of successfully commercializing innovative local technology. The boot solution runs on ARM processors, dramatically reducing BoM (material bills) and product costs.
Founded in 2016, iROV has launched the country’s first underwater robotic drone that can send real-time videos of ships and other underwater structures to help repair and maintain them.
Called the EyeROV, the product can move to a depth of 50 meters to take high-resolution visuals to explore ship hulls or submarine cables or moorings, eliminating the need for more expensive and risky manual checks by divers. . The company is headed by its founders Jones T Matai (IIT Delhi) and Kannappa Palaniappan P (IIT Madras).
KSUM is the key agency of the state government for the development of entrepreneurship and incubation activities in the country.
