We have selected five of the most promising Indian AI startups that are reshaping industries with their innovation and cutting-edge technology.
Artificial intelligence can provide solutions to many problems, from fixing potholes to keeping warm. IT can even help make healthcare more accessible in rural areas.
Here are five Indian innovations that solve a multitude of problems:
- Using AI to Fix Potholes
When Dipen Babariya encountered a road full of potholes, he decided to develop AI-based software that examines road conditions. RoadMetrics also generates reports and helps municipalities and private entities repair roads.
The Bangalore-based startup has already analyzed more than 50,000 km of roads in India
- Using AI to Keep Soldiers Warm
Engineers Neel Panchal and Khushboo Patel have built an AI-powered graphene smart jacket to help armed forces personnel stay warm and comfortable even in the harshest climates.
- Using AI to provide good healthcare in rural areas
Dr (Maj) Satish Somayya Jeevannavar launched AiSteth, a digital stethoscope that records and analyzes patients’ heart sounds which can be interpreted by professionals across cities, with an aim to provide affordable rural healthcare.
- Using AI to protect floors
Jaisimha Rao’s AI-powered localized spray robots provide selective coverage only to plants, protecting the soil from excessive chemical damage. So far, more than 500 farmers from Maharashtra and Karnataka have adopted the technology.
- Using AI to regain mobility
John Ignatius Kujur’s AI-powered exoskeleton uses sensor-based feedback and real-time monitoring to help people with disabilities gradually regain mobility.
“It is essentially a mobility device for the wearer and helps to naturally regain the person’s gait, in addition to helping them in the rehabilitation process. This will also help them become self-reliant, independent and eventually increase their chances of getting a job,” says Kujur.
