Research That Becomes Companies.
Impact
Each venture began as a CNDE research problem and grew into a real company built on validated science and industrial need.



Fourteen companies, One research lineage.

Automated Ultrasonic Inspection Systems
- Aerospace & Defence Industry
- Manufacturing & Heavy Industry
CNDE's first startup and India's most established NDE instrumentation company. Dhvani's flagship SHRUTI (Scanning High Resolution Ultrasonic Testing & Imaging) systems are deployed across aerospace, defence, and heavy manufacturing, delivering automated immersion UT, air-coupled UT, and digital X-ray inspection. Over 15 years of field deployment across defence ordnance factories, shipyards, and aerospace composites manufacturers.
The Sectors They Serve
From Lab to Market
CNDE builds the science. IIT Madras builds the ecosystem. The ventures build the impact.
Every venture here began as a CNDE research challenge — solved with rigorous science, shaped through IIT Madras incubation, and carried into the market by research teams and founders.
