Prama India recently signed a transfer of technology (ToT) agreement with C-DAC.
The company has a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility near Mumbai to help transform India into a global manufacturing and export hub for video security products.
Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, launched the ‘Digital India FutureLABS’ at IIIT-Delhi last week.

The thermal smart camera has an inbuilt data processing unit (DPU) to run various AI-based analytics. The indigenised technology is targeted for applications across multiple domains including smart cities, industries, defence, health and others.
“We at Prama India are committed to the vision of ‘Artmanirbhar Bharat’ for achieving the goal of ‘Surakshit Bharat’. We hope that our technology partnership with C-DAC will bolster the cause of R&D and product innovation,” said a company spokesperson.
