Research — Spoorthy Innovations Research Foundation

Research Wing

Innovation That Serves Communities

Our research wing focuses on applied, field-deployable innovation. We don't research for papers alone — we research for people. Every project is designed to address a tangible need in agriculture, energy, water management or digital infrastructure.

Working in close collaboration with the technology division (Spoorthy Innovations Pvt Ltd at spoorthy.net), we bring together research rigour and engineering capability to build solutions that work in the field.

Focus Areas

Research Domains

Our interdisciplinary research spans four key domains — each aligned with community needs and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

📡 Internet of Things (IoT)

Designing low-cost, robust IoT sensor networks for rural deployment — including smart water-level monitors, weather stations and livestock tracking systems.

LoRaWAN Edge Computing Sensor Fusion MQTT

🌾 Agricultural Technology

Precision agriculture solutions — soil moisture analytics, automated drip irrigation controllers and crop health monitoring using drone imagery and ML.

Precision Farming Soil Analytics Drone Imaging Crop Models

☀️ Renewable Energy Monitoring

Performance analytics for solar installations — real-time output monitoring, predictive maintenance algorithms and degradation analysis for off-grid and grid-tied systems.

Solar Analytics Predictive Maintenance Energy Auditing SCADA

⚡ Smart Metering & Utilities

Research into smart electricity and water metering — tamper detection, consumption pattern analysis and billing integration for municipal and utility applications.

Collaboration

Research ↔ Industry Bridge

One of our unique strengths is the direct pipeline from research to deployment. Prototypes developed by the Foundation's research wing are productised by Spoorthy Innovations Pvt Ltd — the technology arm of the group.

This means our research doesn't stay in a lab — it reaches farmers, utility operators and communities as finished, field-tested products.
