IIT Madras-incubated Start-up Develops Diamond Coatings

  • Indian Institute of Technology Madras-incubated deep-tech start-up Kapindra Precision Engineering has developed diamond coatings that can aid Indian Scientists working on heat dissipation (thermal management), a major issue for hypersonic missiles during their re-entry into earth's atmosphere where they experience destructive high temperatures (>2,400 oC). Defence establishments of many countries have been working on heat dissipation issues, which pose a major hurdle to aero-dynamic stability of missiles upon re-entry. Based on their technology, Kapindra, was adjudged as the '#1 Start-up' in the 'DRDO Dare to Dream Innovation Contest' for its specialised product offering. The start-up came from technology developed at IIT Madras' Nano Functional Materials Technology Centre and Materials Science Research Center (MSRC) led by MS Ramachandra Rao.
