CareNX Innovations
CareNX Innovations was founded in 2015 by Shantanu Pathak, while he was still a research scholar at IIT Bombay. Within a couple of years, his team grew to 20 people in charge of research, hardware, software, web and mobile app development, operations, marketing and sales.
The flagship product CareMother includes a portable kit and mobile application for health-workers to perform relevant tests for pregnant women at their doorstep. The second product is Fetosense, for fetal heart monitoring. Till date health workers empowered by CareNX have made more than 1,00,000 visits to 30,000 mothers covering 500 villages in 10 states. The products are used by healthcare providers in hospitals, government and NGOs sectors.
CareMother has been recognized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and HM Queen Elizabeth II. The company collaborates with leading technology partners including Cisco, Google, Nvidia and MIT D-Lab. The team is rapidly scaling up to impact the lives of 3 million pregnant mothers by 2022.
JanYu Technologies
JanYu Technologies was started in 2016 by Manchella Hemanth, who completed his Dual Degree (B.Tech plus M.Tech) in Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay in the same year. While at IITB, he took entrepreneurship courses and also developed a proof-of-concept of collaborative robots using a micro-grant from DSCE.
He became team lead of Mars Rover project at the Institute, which led to the dream of sustainable multi-planetary endeavors. Today, JanYu Technologies develops, manufactures and supplies portable mobile field robots for hostile or constrained work environments., focussing on the strategic sectors of aerospace, defense, energy, manufacturing and shipping. Their ultra-lightweight robot(Varaha ROV) can remotely detect and dispose IED's and mines. It can be deployed as a swarm, making the demining activity safe, cost-effective and incredibly fast. Its capabilities match the best-in-class robots developed by US and UK based companies. Other products include interior wall painting robots, under-water robots and custom-made robots.
The company is working closely with National Center of Excellence in Technology for Internal Security, established in IIT Bombay, supported by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), Ministry of Communications and IT, Government of India.
Faclon Labs
Faclon Labs was started by IIT Bombay alumni Rishi Sharma and Archit Naraniwal.They completed their B.Tech in 2015, in mechanical and civil engineering, respectively, and worked in PwC for about an year before founding Faclon Labs in April 2018.
Another co-founder is Utkarsh Srivastava, a computer science graduate from UP Technical University. The idea for their solution came during a project at CTARA (Centre for Technology Alternatives for Rural Areas), IIT Bombay. The team found that water shortage in villages is partly due to harsh weather conditions, but also because of poor water management. In some cases, water sources are exposed to a variety of hazards that can damage or contaminate them. The company built an integrated IoT solution comprising sensors, transmitters and actuators to track water data, from its level to pressure and flow rate, and upload that data to the cloud. The data is mined and analyzed to detect consumption patterns and offer insights into water usage across areas. This helps in tracking daily/weekly consumption, matching demand with supply and detecting leakages. These insights are accessible remotely through web and mobile applications. The IoT solution can also live-monitor water levels in tanks and reservoirs, and develop early warning systems to avert emergencies and crises.
Faclon Labs was featured in NASSCOM 10,000 Startups’ TechMarch 2016 edition that aimed to foster innovation in hardware startups. It also made it to the first cohort of startups at Mumbai-based incubator thinQbate, which invested in the company. The eventual goal of the company is to make life easier for common people and conserve natural resources as well, by making cities and villages smart.
