How an IIT Delhi startup is putting AI inside drones, sensors and satellites
IIT Delhi’s homegrown startup Cyran AI Solutions is developing neuromorphic edge computing for defence, geospatial and industrial use.
CYRAN AI Solutions, a startup founded in 2018 as a spin-off from the IIT Delhi research group, is bringing artificial intelligence to drones, sensors, and satellites. Led by Professor Manan Suri, the company specializes in neuromorphic hardware, which integrates memory and computation, making it ideal for constrained environments.
CYRAN's solutions include geospatial applications, industrial defect inspection, and predictive maintenance, as well as AI skilling kits for education. By running AI models on the device itself, the company addresses connectivity and power issues often faced by data-collecting devices. CYRAN's platform offers pre-trained models deployable in various environments, including cloud, edge, and air-gapped systems, on specialized hardware with dedicated AI accelerators.
The company's technology aims to create a sovereign and interoperable AI stack, reducing dependence on foreign exports. CYRAN AI Solutions has gained recognition, including a Raksha Mantri's Award for Excellence in Defence and Aerospace in 2022 and a National Startup Technology Award in 2021.
