Good afternoon everyone and thank you so much STPI for this honor here today.

In what we have built an AI powered food robotics platform that prepares and serves fresh and hygienic beverages completely autonomously without any human intervention and as our first application we have built world’s first fresh sugarcane juice robotic vending machine which replaces the unhygienic and unsafe unhygienic beverages being sold on the road sides wherein the customers then finally choose packaged drinks over fresh and hygienic beverages or fresh beverages.

Our technology integrates robotics, IoT -embedded systems, and predictive AI to deliver farm -to -consumer juice in under 30 seconds in a fully autonomous manner. Beyond consumers, this creates direct market linkages for sugarcane farmers, ensures fair pricing, and also supports circular economy. We are extending now our platform beyond sugarcane juice to other fresh juices and smoothies, and positioning CaneBot as a productive platform company in food robotics. STPI has played a very meaningful role in our journey. The mentorship and peer network helped us think beyond the product to scalability, governance, and global readiness. Platforms like Tycon Exposure and, you know, through STPI gave us direct access to global investors and ecosystem partners, helping us sharpen our positioning as a deep tech company.

Most importantly, STPI’s recognition has strengthened our credibility with customers, investors, and government stakeholders. STPI is a great place to start your journey. We are very happy and very honored to be here today. And we thank you so much to STPI and everybody who is present here today. Thank you so very much.

Hi, I’m Meenal Gupta, founder of EZO5 Solutions. At

t EZO5, we have built an AI -powered platform, Imagix AI, that does precision treatment planning for oncology cases. And, so in the long, In the startup journey, there was a time for us when we, one and a half years back, when we had just two months of cash flow with us. We were thinking a lot what to do and that is when STPI came to our rescue and it helped us raise money and there has been no looking back since then. So in the past three years where we have been incorporated, we have processed around one million scans. We have, in the last three months, we have scanned around 50 ,000 chest XAs where we have flagged around 4 ,000 cases of TB, cut the transmission by short.

We have flagged six cases of lung cancer where the intervention was still possible. We have prepared 1 ,000 radiotherapy plans in the last three months and we have cut short the treatment planning and start from around one month to a week. So that is the impact we are making through the support. Of the whole ecosystem and STPI.

and proudly I say that the impact that we have brought even our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi was interested and he invited us to discuss our solution in IMC and just day before yesterday we have gone global because Bill Gates showed interest in our solution and he invited us in Microsoft to show our solution and he was discussing how he can help us.
