Diving into the Future of Deep-Sea Robotics! 🤖⚓
The Indian undersea robotics market is witnessing a massive shift, and EyeROV is leading the charge from Kochi. Founded in 2016 by Johns T Mathai and Kannappa Palaniappan P, the startup is replacing human divers in high-risk environments to inspect critical infrastructure like dams, ports, and oil pipelines.
With a recent ₹47 Crore contract to supply robots to the Indian Navy, EyeROV is proving that “Make in India” technologies can compete on a global scale.
Key Highlights:
- Innovation for Safety: Using Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to eliminate life-threatening risks like barotrauma and nitrogen narcosis at depths of 100-120m.
- Market Growth: The global subsea maintenance services market is projected to reach $11 Billion by 2032.
- Sector Expansion: From hydropower and energy to high-stakes defense applications.
As India emerges as a major player in marine robotics, the vision is clear: build in India and sell to the world.
