Conversant with IoT sensors and their power to solve the pain points of the industries, Nishanth Raja, Aswin Kathirvel, Krishnan Balasubramanian, and Prabhu Rajagopal hatched a plan of reconceptualizing sensing technologies to help organizations monitor their operations better. The group’s deep-rooted penchant and involvement with IoT and Ultrasonic waveguide sensors inspired them to explore the potential of ultrasonic sensors and Industrial-IoT solutions, brainstorm devices and produce vital real-time data that could assist operators using high-temperature processes under hostile & hazardous conditions to improve their performance, functionality, and asset life. They have built a complete IoT-based analysis platform named XYMA Analytics to democratize sensor-based efficiency in industries.

XYMA Analytics is among the 12 startups that were part of the sixth edition of Qualcomm Design in India Challenge (QDIC) – an initiative to encourage design houses and product companies to invent useful and innovative hardware product designs incorporating Qualcomm SoC platforms and technologies. The startup received the opportunity to convert its design submissions into workable prototypes under the mentorship of industry experts, utilizing the Qualcomm® Innovation Lab infrastructure.

The startup provides a range of robust, multi-purpose, and wide temperature products. Their high temperature sensors μTMaps and μSTMaps uses the single waveguide sensors to measure multipoint temperatures up to 1400°C. A multi-parameter sensor, PoRTS- Portable Rheology and Temperature Sensor is designed to measure the viscosity, temperature, and levels of the fluid with the help of a single ultrasonic waveguide with higher reliability and precision. Based on waveguide, Ztar ultrasonic level sensors comes with both contact and non-contact variants and provides accurate measurement even at higher temperatures. XYMA’s I-PAMS (Intelligent Plant Asset Monitoring System) is an IoT based sensing technology that can visualize data at any time, enables report generation, predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring to increase efficiencies and provide corrective actions.

Founded in 2019, XYMA Analytics is a spin-out from the Centre for NDE, IIT Madras, and incubated by IIT Madras Incubation Cell. Ever since its inception, the startup has come a long way, their ground-breaking technology has turned the heads of innovation leaders. XYMA Analytics is funded by VC Investors & Angel Networks like the Innovation Voucher Program (IVP), and the Government Of Tamil Nadu and is backed by leading organizations such as Qualcomm, Nasscom CoE IoT & AI, IBM, Forge, SmartHub.ai, StartupTN, and ShellE4. It owns a robust client base that consists of names like Saint-Gobain, TATA Steel, Vedanta, Bharat Petroleum, and more. They have won titles like that of Startup Tamil Nadu Top 19-Most Promising Startup, Qualcomm Design Indian Challenge 21 Finalist, the TANSEED award from the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and Shell E4 Digital Track 21 Cohort. In 2019, XYMA bagged around $1 million from a group of investors 8x Venture, Sophonos, and Venture Catalysts. The startup is blooming in terms of its geographical presence, revenue, and clients. Today, they have a robust team of 30 members who are enthusiastically working towards augmenting their products, achieving their goals, and taking the company to a global level.

The wide adoption and utilization of these cutting-edge technologies have significantly enhanced the quality of care, truly streamlining healthcare practices and delivery. This wide penetration of technology is also empowering people to keep track of their health parameters, improve their well-being and observe a healthy lifestyle all by themselves; simply by using the different applications developed to help the users to track their biomarkers and seek health-related advice     .

To make life simpler for users, Nikunj Malpani, Anurag Meena, and Pratik Lodha came up with the idea of creating smart solutions that makes it very easy and convenient to tracks your different biomarkers anytime-anywhere. This vision led to the establishment of a health-tech startup, monikered NeoDocs. In short, the startup has transformed smartphones into minilabs, where by using the different self-test kits one can instantly take the test, scan the card and get the results instantly on their phones anytime and anywhere, in 30 seconds.

NeoDocs’ at-home instant testing kits are developed by experts to serve different customer needs. These kits are rigorously validated with clinical partners to ensure they are of utmost quality. The current set includes Wellness, Maternity wellness, UTI testing, Kidney, and Elderly care. Giving attention to the elderly’s basic requirements, the team designed an Elderly Care Kit to help them monitor their vital signs, deficiencies, and infirmities at home in their comfort zone. Today, the startup has hit on novel solutions and is building a platform that will support saliva and blood-based tests as well to add more biomarkers to the instant test kits.

“At Neodocs, we’re building instant diagnostics on the phone; across blood, urine, saliva, sweat, etc. Already live with multiple urine-based tests, with two of our hero products being the Kidney Care Kit and Instant UTI (urinary tract infection) Kit. The Kidney Care Kits help with early screening and monitoring of CKD (chronic kidney disease) patients – there are said to be more than 800 million CKD patients, with 90% of them unaware. UTI is something that affects more than 60% women, with symptoms being unbearable in most cases. Looking forward to an amazing partnership with India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre and Business Sweden to take this solution to the masses,” said, Nikunj Malpani, Co-Founder, NeoDocs.

NeoDocs is one of the winners of the Innovation Challenge led by the India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre which is established to develop an ecosystem of open innovation for start-ups and the healthcare delivery stakeholders. The Centre is supporting NeoDocs towards clinical validation guidance at AIIMS Jodhpur and deployment of their product at the hospital along with mentoring for international expansion. Through the Centre, NeoDocs has also become a part of A.Catalayst network – an interconnected and dynamic global network of more than 20 AstraZeneca health innovation hubs, made up of physical locations and virtual partnerships. The network embodies the commitment to Growth Through Innovation as ‘a catalyst’ to develop new solutions for patients. It aims to address healthcare challenges, increase access to healthcare and scale and showcase patient‑enabled innovation through partnerships within the health ecosystem.

“We’re elated to have won the India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre’s Innovation Challenge. This is an impeccable opportunity for us, to partner with AIIMS Jodhpur for validation and testing. Building in the diagnostics space can be tricky, getting the right guidance and mentorship is crucial. Feel lucky and grateful to get this opporturnity and Launchpad,” said Anurag Meena, Co-Founder, NeoDocs.

Ever since its establishment in 2020, NeoDocs has been hitting the homerun. Along with creating a niche in the ecosystem, the startup has gained the recognition and support of leading investors and advisors like Omidyar Network, 9Unicorns, Titan Capital, Venture Souq, YCombinator, Gemba Capital, Prophetic Ventures, and others. In 2021, they raised a pre-Seed funding round led by idea-phased accelerator VC fund 9Unicorns, along with Y Combinator, Titan Capital, and others. The startup has also bagged prestigious awards like the Wharton India Startup Challenge, BCIC Emerging Stars Startup Award (2022) and made it to the list of X-PITCH’s (formerly known as Taiwan Elevator Pitch) TOP 150 start-ups.

NeoDocs have established an excellent partnership with Nashik Zila Parishad where they will be deploying Neodocs test kits and disseminating them to the end-users, enabling them to track their health and critical needs and as a result, uplift the healthcare levels. 103 doctors across Mumbai and Jaipur are using the test kits for instant results daily at their clinics.

Intending to spread health and wellness awareness, the team has designed a special blog section where one can read healthcare-related articles to increase their knowledge and adopt measures to improve their overall health.  Headquartered in Mumbai, this MedTech startup has set a growth trajectory where the aim is to expand its footprint across geographies like the Middle East, African Subcontinent & South East Asia, add more tests to the portfolio, and continue creating the path for innovations for building futuristic diagnostics.
