TIH Deep Tech Ecosystem
Three deep-tech focus areas driving research and translation.
Spanning sensing, compute, intelligence and deployment — TIH invests in areas where deep-tech can meaningfully impact India-scale problems.
Connected sensing, edge and networks
Internet of Things / IoE
Sensor systems, edge intelligence and connected infrastructure for scalable field deployment.
Applied intelligence for real systems
Artificial Intelligence & ML
Applied AI/ML for perception, prediction and decisioning across industry and public systems.
Autonomous & assistive robotics
Robotics
Autonomous and assistive robotics for field, industrial and public-service applications.
TIH Deep Tech Ecosystem: Connected Intelligence at Scale
The Convergence: Where IoT Meets AI Meets Robotics
At TIH IIT Bombay, we're not building isolated technologies—we're architecting an Intelligence Pyramid where data collection, intelligent decision-making, and autonomous execution converge into exponential impact.
IoT captures real-world data from millions of connected sensors and devices. Artificial Intelligence transforms that raw data into actionable intelligence. Robotics translates intelligence into real-world action and automation. Together, they create a complete ecosystem that turns problems into profitable solutions.
This isn't theoretical. Our portfolio of 35+ startups, 60+ live deployments, and 500,000+ users across agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, and smart cities prove that integrated deep tech is where India's competitive advantage lies.
