Hyderabad-based Godi India, an advanced cell and supercapacitor manufacturer, has India’s largest R&D house and has brought on board 30 PhD holders to design solutions for the e-mobility and stationary storage systems sectors. Typically, a young startup does not go about hiring as many PhD folks in the very early stages—at least in India. PhD holders he hired were working in Israel, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the European and North American regions.

Gurugram-based startup PredOmix has developed a novel blood test that can detect about 32 cancers in both men and women, with 98 per cent accuracy. The company's OncoVeryx-F is a patented technology that combines metabolomics (study of small molecules) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify metabolite signatures of multiple cancers in a single test.

Indian Institute technology Madras (IIT Madras) researchers have developed a new, non-invasive tool to assess the health and age of blood vessels and thereby provide early screening for heart diseases. powered by a proprietary non-imaging probe and an intelligent computing platform and developed by the Healthcare Technology Innovation Center (HTIC) at IIT Madras. evaluated on over 5,000 human subjects. The technology already holds five utility patents, 10 design patents in the US, EU and India, and has 28 patents pending to be granted in various jurisdictions. IIT Madras team intends to deploy it to perform over one lakh vascular screenings per year. field results of this instrument have already been published in more than 100 scientific peer-reviewed publications. The latest research papers were published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Hypertension and the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.

IIT Indore in collaboration with the NASA-Caltech from the US and Sweden's University of Gothenburg has developed a low-cost camera setup . Using only a single DSLR camera, it can simultaneously capture multiple spectral three-dimensional images of four chemical species in a flame, whereas earlier scientific imaging required a complex system with four cameras . It would come in handy for the study of combustion of fuels which in turn can lead to improvement in combustion engines to make them more efficient and reduce carbon emissions .

Darwin theory might get removed from school text book .

Dropping of Darwin's evolution theory: Union MoS for education clears air on NCERT’s move

At a time when there is a lot of hullabaloos over the ‘removal of Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution’ from the science textbooks for Classes 9 and 10, Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar on Wednesday tried to clear the air by issuing a statement in the matter.
odishatv.in odishatv.in

Those who dont know why it has created anger among many people - Darwin theory was a big challenge to the traditional religious idea of divine creation of the world , and man directly coming to existence by grace of God . As many people dont really study after 10th this has created controversy , Its being accused as a backward step .

Technology development board . Which helps in commercializing fruits of indigenous research. Defence *is* one of the areas supported by TDB

The financial help could be (i) Loans (upto 50% of the project cost); (ii) Equity (upto 25% of the project cost); and / or (iii) Grants. The loans are really lucrative and are provided at 5% simple interest annually. Grants are given in exceptional cases . here *are* some caveats & fine print including the need for collateral etc or sharing of royalty during the loan repayment period, but on the whole the support is substantial and startups should read more about it on the TDB website / contact them. They are very helpful.
TDB also supports projects for commercialization of technology developed by domestic R&D institutions. An agreement signed with the R&D institution for transfer the technology (ToT) should be attached. Looking at taking ToT from @DRDO_India? TDB can help.

Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI) at Bhavnagar in Gujarat has developed a process to recover both sulphate of potash (SOP) and muriate of potash (MOP) from the spent wash ash generated by sugarcane molasses-based distilleries. CSMCRI has licensed its technology to DCM Shriram Bio Enchem Limited, which is installing a plant based on it at Hariawan in Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi district. This facility, costing Rs 57 crore, will use the spent wash ash from a 200 kilo-litre per day distillery attached to a 13,000 tonnes cane per day sugar mill. It will be operational by August . India currently imports its entire potassic fertiliser requirement mainly from Canada, Belarus, Israel, Jordan, Lithuania and Russia.
