Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has agreed to provide grants and investments to two highly promising start-up ventures at Maker Village, the largest electronics incubator in Kerala managed by IITM-K.
The company is offering to support further development of an underwater drone created by EyeROV Technologies and a cattle milking machine that enables early detection of dairy cattle diseases, developed by Resnova Technologies.
Aravind Krishnaswamy, General Manager (Strategy) BPCL exchanged MoUs with Jijo Paul, CEO at Resnova Technologies and Johns T Mathai, CEO at EyeROV Technologies.
Earning grantsBPCL and Kerala Startup Mission are now working together to find promising new start-ups to support. KSUM helps the innovative ventures that are in need of funding, and the selected ones can earn grants.
The EyeROV drone can dive 50 meters deep into the water to gather data, and is expected to find applications in various fields, including police department, fire and rescue, and Navy.
Resnova’s cattle milking machine that doubles up as a disease diagnostic tool can potentially be of invaluable assistance to dairy farmers to tackle cattle diseases before they become full-blown epidemics.
