At Bharat Innovates 2026, it’s encouraging to see the IAN Group ecosystem come together on a shared global platform. Each of these startups is building in its own domain, but what ties them together is a clear focus on solving real-world problems through deeptech innovation. From healthcare and energy to space, semiconductors, AI, and advanced engineering, this group reflects the depth and diversity of India’s innovation story. - @ahammune is working on novel approaches in dermatology and immunology research. - Nayam Innovations Pvt. Ltd. is developing intraocular lens technology to deliver spectacle-free vision and affordable cataract care. - @Noccarc is focused on making critical care technology more accessible and intelligent. - Pandorum Technologies is developing advanced tissue engineering and regenerative medicine solutions. - Astrome is building advanced wireless communication systems for terrestrial and satellite connectivity. - BigEndian Semiconductors is focused on semiconductor design and systems innovation. - Morphing Machines is exploring advanced computing architectures. - @DhruvaSpace is building end-to-end space engineering solutions, including satellites and ground systems. - @endureair is developing UAVs and aerial logistics solutions. - @ManastuSpace is working on sustainable propulsion and space safety technologies. - e-TRNL Energy is developing battery cell technology that eliminates heating at the source, ensuring faster charging without affecting battery life or performance. - @BrainSightAI is combining AI and neuroscience to enable precision brain mapping for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. It’s a proud moment for the ecosystem, and a reminder of what becomes possible when deeptech founders build with conviction and scale with purpose. @TheSaurabhSri @padmajaian #BharatInnovates2026 #DeepTechIndia #InnovationEcosystem #IANGroup #BuiltInIndiaForTheWorld

The Bhubaneswar-based startup has raised ₹45 crore in a round led by NABVENTURES Limited, with participation from IAN Alpha Fund, to strengthen its tech-led, farm-to-export platform. By enabling better disease management, real-time monitoring, and direct market access, Aquapulse is solving some of the toughest challenges faced by small shrimp farmers. As India’s seafood exports continue to surge, solutions like these are not just improving efficiency, they are reshaping how farmers connect to global markets. @EconomicTimes | @moneycontrolcom | @bsindia | @vccircle | @BwDisrupt | @ZeeBusiness | @OpportunityInd | @Indian_Retailer | @EntrepreneurInd | @flipitmoney | @indstartupnews | @YourStoryCo | @entrackr | @Inc42 | @viestories_com | @abhishekdwivedy #Aquaculture #AgriTech #SeafoodExports #StartupIndia #IANGroup

It is meaningful to see Aquapulse receive DeepTech Startup recognition from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (@DPIITGoI ), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. As an IAN Alpha Fund-backed company, Aquapulse reflects the kind of companies IAN supports: built from India, creating solutions for India and the world, and addressing challenges that affect shrimp farmer livelihoods, farm productivity, and market access. This recognition is a testament to what @ianetwork Group has consistently backed: founders building close to India’s sectoral challenges, with solutions that can serve local communities and global markets. Congratulations to founders Abhishek Dwivedy and Abhilash Dwivedy, and the entire Aquapulse team. #Aquapulse #DeepTech #StartupIndia #Aquaculture #AgriTech #Fisheries #BlueEconomy #PondToPort

A new era of preclinical research is emerging, powered by human biology rather than animal models. Biodimension is at the forefront of this shift, and we are excited to announce that the company has raised ₹8 crore in a funding round led by IAN Angel Fund, with participation from Campus Angels Network, Dr Sampath Srisailam, and Aaryan Baid. By developing biofabricated human tissue and organoid models, Biodimension is enabling more accurate, human-relevant approaches to research, safety assessment, and drug discovery across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and cosmetics. At @ianetwork Group, we believe transformative innovation happens when visionary founders tackle complex global challenges with deep science and cutting-edge technology. Biodimension is building solutions that have the potential to reshape the future of preclinical research, and we are proud to support their journey as they scale across India and the world.

Wonderful to see Aquapulse featured on @CNBCTV18News and bringing much-needed attention to the opportunities within India's aquaculture sector. What makes this journey particularly inspiring is the team's focus on creating real value for shrimp farmers through technology, better market access, and a stronger, more sustainable seafood ecosystem. As the sector evolves, it is encouraging to see founders taking on complex challenges and building solutions with long-term impact. Congratulations to the Aquapulse team on this well-deserved spotlight. Wishing you success as you continue to help shape the future of India's blue economy.

Behind every successful startup is a mission that goes beyond business. For the team at Aquapulse, that mission is about empowering smallholder shrimp farmers, building sustainable livelihoods, and strengthening India's position in the global seafood ecosystem. We are proud to back founders Abhishek Dwivedy and Abhilash Dwivedy as they combine deep domain expertise and technology to create meaningful impact from pond to plate. Their journey is a reminder that when innovation meets commitment, entire communities can benefit. Wishing the AquaPulse team continued success as they scale their vision across India and beyond. @TheSaurabhSri @padmajaian #Aquaculture #SustainableFoodSystems #StartupIndia #ImpactInvesting #IANGroup

Strong outcomes are often the result of backing founders who identify changing customer needs and build solutions that create lasting value. Congratulations to the @brevistay team on this significant milestone as @ixigo acquires a majority stake in the company. Since IAN Group's investment, Brevistay has built India's largest flexible-stay hotel network, creating a distinctive offering for travellers while helping hotel partners unlock greater value from their inventory. This milestone represents an approximately 3.4x return for IAN over a holding period of 46 months and reflects the impact that can be created when founders execute with clarity, discipline, and a deep understanding of the market. We wish the Brevistay founders and the combined ixigo-Brevistay team continued success as they work to create a more comprehensive and flexible accommodation ecosystem for travellers across India.

What happens when someone spots a problem faced by millions of people every day and decides to solve it using first principles? For the team at The Sweet Change, it started with a simple observation from Manvi Agnihotri's work as a clinical nutritionist: reducing sugar should not mean compromising on taste. That insight led to the creation of a brand reimagining how India sweetens its food and beverages through clean, innovative alternatives. In just over a year, the company has crossed ₹1.5 crore in revenue, fulfilled more than 12,500 orders, and introduced India's first gut-friendly monk fruit sweetener powder. We are proud to support entrepreneurs who combine deep consumer understanding with the ambition to build category-defining brands, and we look forward to being part of The Sweet Change's continued growth journey. #FounderStories #ConsumerBrands #StartupJourney #IANGroup #BackingFounders

India's global competitiveness will increasingly be shaped by its ability to build, own, and scale breakthrough technologies. From space tech and semiconductors to biotech, AI, advanced manufacturing, and defence, deeptech is becoming a key driver of innovation, economic resilience, and technological sovereignty. At IAN Group, we've believed in this potential for nearly two decades, backing founders solving complex challenges through science and engineering-led innovation. With ₹625 crore invested across nearly 50 deeptech startups, our conviction in the sector continues to grow. As India strengthens its innovation ecosystem, we remain committed to supporting founders who are building globally relevant technologies and creating long-term impact. @TheSaurabhSri @padmajaian Chintan Thakkar #IANGroup #DeepTech #Innovation #StartupInvesting #FutureOfTechnology
