US-based start-up Softworthy was recently conferred the National Science Foundation Innovation-Corps Teams Awards (NSF I-Corps) and the news left the country’s Indian-American community elated since Saurabh Kewlani, a New Delhi native who serves in a leadership role at the start-up, is part of the project that earned it the award.
According to a news release, the start-up has been awarded in recognition of an innovation that will help in designing reliable, next-generation electronic devices.
Softworthy was founded last year and it develops cutting-edge scientific computing and data analysis tools that address complex engineering problems that exist in the industry. The company is led by a team of Indian engineers who have taken training in prestigious institutes like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.
Kewlani, who is also a core contributor to the project, currently guides the team on issues like information technology systems and information technology security. He also works in various leadership roles in the information technology sector where he advises the government and other bodies.
“We are honored to receive the NSF I-Corps Teams award. PCBs have become an essential foundation of today’s electronic products and industrial technology, and the algorithms developed by our team will eventually lead to more robust, failure-resistant PCBs that can operate in uncertain environments,” Kewlani said in a statement, according to India-West.
“These algorithms will also reduce the PCB design-time due to the advanced innovative techniques used. The team believes the research algorithms will have a wide-ranging impact in a multitude of fields undergoing technological revolution. The commercialization efforts will provide key breakthroughs in transportation and energy domains, and the NSF I-Corps Teams program will be a great step in this direction for us,” he added.
