5 DeepTech Start-ups bag PoCs worth 75 Lakhs in 48 hours In a first for Indias B2B manufacturing sector, AGI Greenpac and SIG Tattva take 8 deep-tech start-up founders onto the factory floor co-creating solutions to live operational challenges and awarding PoC pilot engagements on merit SIG Tattva , the Corporate Venture Capital and Innovation arm of Somany Impresa Group, in partnership with Pontaq Ventures, successfully conducted a two-day Founder Immersion & Start-up Workshop on June 24 th & 25 th June, 2026, at the manufacturing facilities of AGI Greenpac Limited, one of the Group companies of Somany Impresa Group and Indias leading glass packaging manufacturer. The program brought together start-up founders, investors, and industry leaders to strengthen collaboration between start-ups and the manufacturing ecosystem through an immersive shop-floor visit on Day 1 and a start-up-focused workshop on Day 2, fostering knowledge exchange, industry insights, and opportunities for innovation-led partnerships. Founders, industry leaders, investors and mentors come together at India's first Manufacturing-Tech Founder Workshop by SIG Tattva The workshop brought together 8 carefully selected deep-tech start-up founders from Pontaqs portfolio for an immersive, outcome-oriented engagement with the manufacturing operations of SIG Tattva and AGI Greenpac. Unlike conventional start-up showcases or what the industry privately calls innovation theatre , this was a structured workshopping model: founders walked the shop floor, observed live manufacturing processes firsthand, co-developed solutions alongside department heads, and presented a pilot project to the C-suite for evaluation. This is widely regarded as a first-of-its-kind model for AGI Greenpac and among the few such initiatives in India's manufacturing ecosystem, where a manufacturing company has moved beyond pitch-deck-based start-up engagement to structured, outcome-driven, merit-based collaboration on the factory floor. The two-day programme was structured for maximum immersion and outcomes. On Day 1, founders participated in introductory sessions with leadership teams from AGI Greenpac, SIG Tattva, and Pontaq , followed by guided factory walkthroughs led by department heads who briefed them on live operational challenges. The start-up founders then worked independently and collaboratively before presenting their solutions to AGI Greenpac and SIG Tattvas C-suite. Their presentation was followed by a detailed Q&A to establish the viability of solutions proposed. The programme concluded with the evaluation and awarding of PoC pilot engagements assessed on merit, milestone readiness, and potential for full-scale commercial deployment. The 8 participating start-ups were shortlisted from a pool of over 20, drawn from Pontaqs portfolio of approximately 180 start-ups, and selected based on thesis alignment with AGI Greenpacs manufacturing-tech priorities spanning AI/ML, industrial automation, robotics, energy management, quality inspection, emissions control, supply chain traceability, and cybersecurity. The participating start-ups and their founders were: Novorbis Itus Harsh Neekhra (Founder & CEO). Patented industrial emission control and pollution reduction systems for manufacturing environments. Kredily Devendra Khandegar (Founder & CEO). AI-driven HRMS platform; brings deep fintech and investment expertise to operational efficiency challenges. Cairovision Vedpal Singh / VP Singh (Founder). AI and computer vision-powered video analytics solutions for industrial sectors including manufacturing, energy, and logistics. mSense AI Surekha Gupta (Co-founder & CBO) and Shiv Shankar Maurya (Co-founder & CEO). AI-powered quality inspection through computer vision and acoustic intelligence for manufacturing lines. Maxbyte Technologies Ramshankar C.S. (Co-founder & CEO). Industry 4.0 and digital transformation solutions covering industrial automation, robotics, and decarbonisation. Presage Insights Atul Sharma (Co-founder). AI and IoT-powered predictive maintenance and asset performance management to reduce industrial downtime. Goat Robotics Muthu Vangaliappan (Co-founder & CEO) and Mugesh S (Co-founder & MD). Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for industrial applications and intralogistics. Borlaug Web Services Ayon Hazra (Founder & CEO). Blockchain-based supply chain transparency, carbon accounting, and sustainability traceability solutions. The two-day workshop culminated in the awarding of PoC engagements worth INR 75 Lakhs to 5 deep-tech start-ups, spanning AMRs, computer vision, emission control, predictive maintenance, and logistics. This workshop is the first in what AGI Greenpac and SIG Tattva intend to build as an ongoing, repeatable open innovation programme extending beyond Pontaq to include other leading VC funds. Shashvat Somany, Founder, SIG Tattva , said, The future of innovation lies in breaking down the barriers between start-ups and industry. For too long, founders have been expected to solve industrial challenges without direct access to the environments where those challenges exist. My vision is to democratise start-ups access to the shop floor, where the action really takes place. Floor to Future is Indias first initiative to create a platform where start-ups, operators, and business leaders collaborate closely. This is the exact kind of structured, outcome-driven collaboration that accelerates successful pilots and drives long-term value creation for both start-ups and corporates. Through this initiative, we aim to bridge that gap by opening up SIGs manufacturing ecosystem to entrepreneurs. Sriharsha Bandaluppi, Head, SIG Tattva , said, " As an operator-led venture platform, our focus is on creating pathways from innovation to implementation. We believe this model can redefine corporate-start-up collaborationmoving away from superficial conversations and pitch decks toward real problem-solving, real pilots, and real outcomes. In the first chapter of 'Floor to Future,' we partnered with Pontaq bringing founders on the shop floor. What differentiated this workshop was the depth of execution, interactions with functional leaders to understand bottlenecks firsthand, and co-created solutions grounded in operational realities. Through this initiative, we arent just talking about the future of industrywe are building a repeatable model that transforms innovation from conversation into execution. Mr. Rajesh Khosla, CEO, AGI Greenpac Limited , said , "At AGI Greenpac, operational excellence and continuous innovation remain central to our growth strategy. As Indias leading glass packaging manufacturer, we see immense value in bringing external innovation into our manufacturing ecosystem. This workshop provided an opportunity for our teams to engage with entrepreneurs bringing fresh perspectives and emerging technologies to solve real business challenges. We are excited by the quality of ideas generated and look forward to exploring opportunities that can create tangible value for our operations, customers, and industry. Mr. Prem Barthasarathy, Founder & Managing Partner, Pontaq VC, said, "Large industrial conglomerates do not look for isolated point solutions; they seek integrated solutions that can improve quality, enhance productivity, increase revenues, and reduce costs across the value chain. Yet, for start-ups, breaking into large enterprises and securing pilot opportunities typically takes between 8 and 18 months. Through 'Floor to Future', we are fundamentally changing this dynamic. By bringing founders directly onto the shop floor alongside operational and business leaders, start-ups gain first-hand insight into real-world challenges while enterprises gain access to cutting-edge innovation. What is particularly exciting is that potential proof-of-concepts emerged within just 48 hours of engagement. This demonstrates that when industry and innovation come together in the right environment, the path from conversation to execution can be dramatically shortened.

The LBW Call That Changed Cricket History: Revisiting the 1986 Chennai Tie Test Controversy
The Story of India vs Australia Chennai Tied Test 1986 : A few days back, former international umpire from India, V Vikramraju, died aged 92. This news of his sad demise was not widely covered, although he remains Indias one of the most discussed umpires. He umpired in two Tests and five ODIs, besides being on duty in 42 first-class matches, which included being one of the two on-field umpires in the famous Chennai Tie Test in 1986. This Test between India and Australia, played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium from September 18 to 22 was only the second tied Test in cricket. The first one was played between Australia and West Indies in Brisbane in 1960. Vikramraju had adjudged India No. 11 Maninder Singh lbw off Greg Matthews and was at the receiving end of criticism. This decision stopped India's chase a run short of the target of 348. Although his decision made the Test historic, it is believed that his decision deprived India of a chance to score the winning run off the last ball. Dara Dotiwalla was the other on-field umpire. Standing in just his second Test, Vikramraju was not given a chance to officiate in another Test, although he was on duty at a few odds after this Test controversy. He was a match referee in a few first-class matches as well as casca T20 events. Surprisingly, the 1986 Tied Test transformed the careers of players on both sides but didnt help the man whose decision was responsible for making this a historic Test. Dean Jones scored a double-century considered as one of the most courageous ever played (at 40 degrees Celsius temperatures and 80 percent humidity, he batted for over eight hours for his 210 in Australia's first innings of 7-574). The Australian spinner Greg Matthews ended the Test with figures of 10-249, his first and only 10-wicket haul in Test cricket. Kapil Dev scored a hundred in the first innings, considered by many to be his one of the best. Why is Vikramraju's decision that ensured the fall of Indias last wicket and finished the Test as a tie with one ball remaining considered controversial? Let us start from the moment Ray Brights three quick wickets made India nine down with scores level. India collapsed from 6-331 to be all out for 347. Ravi Shastri (45 off 37 balls) was at strike, and India needed four runs in six balls, with No. 11 at the other end. Should I? Should I go for this big one, he said in a documentary produced by the Australian Broadcast Corporation? First ball: Shastri sees the first ball off. Second ball: Shastri heaves the ball through square leg and India steal two. Third ball: Yields a single and now the scores are tied, which ensured that India can't lose, but exposed the hapless tail-ender. Now Maninder Singh was at the crease with three balls remaining. Fourth ball: He keeps the ball out. Fifth ball: Maninder tries to do the same but is hit on the pad. Shastri shouted, telling Maninder not to run. On the other hand, the Australians were running around like headless chickens as Vikramraju gave Maninder out lbw. A moment later, everyone realized that Border, who was at a silly point, didn't even appeal. He was just busy retrieving the ball, nothing else. When he looked up, his players were jumping. Vikramraju always maintained his call to out Maninder was correct but faced heavy criticism post-match when Maninder claimed that the ball had touched his bat before it cannoned into his pad. The other not out batsman, Ravi Shastri, supported Maninder. The bat was not near the pad, the bat never came close to the ball, was Vikramrajus version. Matthews labelled Vikramraju as the most courageous umpire on the face of the earth. Maninder claimed that he was not out, I am sure the umpire was nervous. I was surprised because before I even played the ball, I could see his finger going up. I mean almost before playing the ball. That shows he was nervous but that's part of the game. I look at it now and realize how much pressure was on the umpire. The nervousness showed in him when he hastened in giving that decision, Maninder said. The other umpire, Dotiwalla, considered himself to be lucky that he was at square leg in that tension but claimed that he did not hear any sound. That last day, the way these two players behaved, they didn't say anything to me. But they were very harsh on Vikram, he said. Vikramraju, took it as, Outside, everyone wanted India to win the match, but when they did not win, they showed it. That we can't stop it.
