LTTS Helps Deeptech Startups Move Prototypes Toward Global Markets
L&T Technology Services is helping 12 deeptech startups turn early inventions into products that customers can buy.
The programme is called LTTS FARM.
It gives startups engineering help, access to laboratories, and introductions to large business customers.
The companies work in areas such as robots, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and industrial technology.
Many of them already have prototypes but need real customers to test and improve them.
LTTS will help them join business proposals, hold customer meetings, and demonstrate their products.
The programme is mainly about market experience rather than giving money.
LTTS also hopes the work will bring new technologies and patents into its own business.
The company says Indian startups can create products for markets around the world.
L&T Technology Services is working with 12 deeptech startups through its LTTS FARM programme.
The programme offers engineering expertise, market access, customer exposure, and use of LTTS labs and facilities.
The startups span robotics, healthtech, AI drug discovery, industrial technology, and related fields.
LTTS will help participants with enterprise requests for proposals, customer discussions, and product demonstrations.
The initiative focuses on startups at technology readiness levels 4 through 8, especially those needing customer validation to reach production.
