Startup Activities
- Dr. R. Chitra is the founder of two startups, Delving Research and Development Private Limited and Delving Energy Ecosystems. She started the organization with the vivid vision to create and provide research ecosystems and develop IoT products and processes that will help transform society.
- Delving Research and Development Private Limited, commencing in October 2015, has been recognized by Startup India (DIPP2550). The specialized software is the result of the doctoral research of founder and CEO Dr. R. Chitra, the reduction of energy losses in low-voltage distribution networks and industries, resulting in cost savings. This diversified experience helps us to understand our customers and needs and to build the best improvements to our products. Our main products include a multi-feature IoT Smart Energy Meter (MFISM), Dynamic Reactive Compensation Unit (DRCU), Maximum Demand Controller, etc. Delving is the recipient of a Certificate of Merit from the India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) Innovation Awards 2022 for the award category of “Smart Startup of the Year” and was selected for a pilot execution in Powerthon 2022 under the Ministry of Power.
- Delving Energy Ecosystem is a partnership firm that commenced in February 2022 and has been recognized by Startup India (DIPP107171). DEE started with the vivid desire to contribute to society in terms of energy-efficient ecosystems with embedded intelligent IoT integrated with software. DEE validated the IoT Based DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER MEASURING, MONITORING, and CONTROLLING MODULE (DT-MMCM). MMCM is a concept of measuring transformer physical parameters along with electrical parameters through an IoT-based smart meter for energy loss reduction with active compensation and reactive compensation. It also aids in the automation of the electrical distribution network by integrating with smart MCCB and IED. It will be used as an effective tool for loss minimization in the distribution network. This product will be scalable for industrial customers and electrical utilities across the country.
Achievements
- Recipient of the “certificate of merit” award from the India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) Innovation Awards 2022 in the category of “Smart Startup of the Year.”
