Indian deep-tech start-ups haven’t quite got the attention they deserve from the deep pocket investors. Only 11 percent of the technology-related funds reach deep-tech start-ups. This trend does not bode well for the 3000+ deep-tech start-ups, a third of which have moved up the innovation curve, filing patents. Moreover, when…

You might not have realized it. But Edge computing is gradually storming into your day-to-day existence. From the PoS device to the smart wearable health monitor that tracks your pulse and analyses sleep patterns, edge applications are growing. And if your consumer appliances like air conditioners, washing machines, microwaves and…

Augmented Reality (AR) is quickly emerging as one of the must-have technologies for transforming the mining landscape. With the chorus turning louder on ESG commitments, the impact of mining on climate change and biodiversity is going under scrutiny. AR technology comes in handy to take the ESG challenge head-on and…
