Miraqules co-founder and CEO Sabir Hossain always knew he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and run his own business. But he never thought he’d launch a biotech company built around a technology that would have been able to help his father after a near-tragic accident years earlier left him almost bleeding to death. Bengaluru-based Miraqules developed a nanotechnology in powder form that mimics blood clotting proteins. The blood clotting powder rapidly produces fibrous compounds at room temperature that are a high volume to ratio and can absorb blood quickly when applied. “This is a product that will give…

If you’ve ever had a PET scan, you know it’s an ordeal. The scans help doctors detect cancer and track its spread, but the process itself is a logistical nightmare for patients.  It starts with fasting for four to six hours before coming into the hospital — and good luck to you if you live rurally and your local hospital doesn’t have a PET scanner. When you get to the hospital, you’re injected with radioactive material, after which you must wait an hour while it washes through your body. Next, you enter the PET scanner and have to attempt to…

You’re lost. Even worse, there’s no cell signal. The last thing keeping you from fully freaking out is that little blue dot — the universal sign that, somewhere up above, a GPS satellite has eyes on you. But what if you don’t even have that? Kanwar Singh thinks he’s got a solution. For the past few years he’s been building a vision-based navigation system with his startup Skyline Nav AI. The so-called Pathfinder software can look at almost anything — buildings, tree-lined roads, even aerial views — and quickly match it to a database and generate real-time navigation. That could…

When it comes to supplying electricity to large enterprises with multi-building campuses, the allocation system is archaic. Unlike homeowners, who pay for what they actually use, campuses buy a standard monthly capacity. This capacity must, by common-sense necessity, be based on max usage needs. This is true even if the company only consumes such max usage rarely, like a single busy season. That was a situation that bothered the hell out of COI Energy founder and CEO, SaLisa Berrien. After earning her degree in mechanical engineering (and later an MBA), she spent 25 years as an energy engineer at major…

Another gripping allegation of corporate espionage has emerged from the profoundly boring world of employee onboarding platforms and 401(k) administration. All year, we’ve been following the ongoing death match between HR software titans Rippling and Deel, which are currently locked in a litigation featuring accusations of planted moles and systematic data theft. Now, as first spotted by Axios, comes Act Two: the 401(k) management unicorns, Human Interest and Guideline, squaring off in federal court with allegations so brazen that they’re embarrassing. Here’s a taste, plucked from Human Interest’s lawsuit against Guideline, filed this month in Utah federal court: “We are…
