Makers Lab

Human beings have an inherent need to animate the inanimate. Technology has always been an inanimate entity that one can’t feel and touch but can be expressed in the abstract. Metaverse gives us that unique capability to bring to life an inanimate world – a world we can experience, a world we can interact with using our avatars, and a world where we can create solutions for businesses and humanity.
We have created 50+ solutions in different domains using AR, VR, and MR to explore the possibilities of using this technology for real-life enterprise and gaming use cases.
We are pushing the boundaries of this technology further by continuing our experimentation with a combination of technologies.

In the deep tech world today, Generative AI’s rapid growth promises innovation but brings significant costs and environmental concerns. Also, given the carbon implications, there is a need to consider more eco-friendly solutions, including optimizing model architectures, leveraging energy-efficient hardware, and using renewable energy sources for AI computations. Additionally, high costs for training models and data storage, along with computing costs, all add up to a formidable business challenge.

Tech Mahindra’s engineering solution for this challenge is a three-pronged approach of Engineering Excellence with intelligent solutions, employing compression techniques for addressing infrastructure challenges and using alternative architectures for building and training models to achieve desired outcomes. With our research in alternative methods, which are neuroscience and quantum-inspired, we ensure that AI becomes applicable to our clients and push the boundaries of AI to take it into newer arenas.

Our work on Indic LLM - Project Indus allows us to build the LLM from scratch, demonstrating this Engineering approach.

IoT and Robotics are one of our strongest research areas, combined with 120+ person-years of industrial experience and several multi-domain SMEs working to build smart devices and applications. Our critical research area includes smart energy monitoring and robots for industry, defense, and retail applications.

Quantum computing is no longer a distant dream. Quantum physics and its principles have existed since the 1920s, but the change that has happened now in terms of hardware is making Quantum computing practical. A core part of our research, Makers Lab has a dedicated team of experts and SMEs that respond to proactive scenarios and trends through research-based innovative approaches and solutions.
