What Our Incubatees Say :
The CII Centre at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and CIL were vital to our success. From funding and infrastructure to expert mentorship for our electronic borehole compass, their support accelerated our growth in mining innovation. At Pinnacle Depth Mine Management and Services Pvt Ltd, We are deeply grateful for an incubator that truly stands by its startups.
As a Mining Engineering student,I wanted to use advanced technology in mining. With support from CIL Incubation Hub, we are developing a LiDAR-based drone for surveying and monitoring. The infrastructure, mentorship from Rahul Sir, and lab support helped transform my idea into a real mining solution.
