Mr. Shantanu Gupta, Founder and Managing Director of Tecknotrove Systems Pvt. Ltd., was featured in Tech Talk, an editorial published by IP Bazzaar in July 2025, as part of a broader discussion on how emerging technologies, research and development, and intellectual property are shaping the future of Indian industry.
The feature brought together industry leaders to examine how organizations can build resilient, future-ready systems by combining innovation with commercialization, ecosystem collaboration, and strong IP foundations.
Emerging technologies defining the next phase of industrial training
Speaking to Tech Talk, Mr. Gupta shared how Tecknotrove approaches innovation with a long-term industry outlook, focusing on technologies that will define the next generation of training, simulation, and operational readiness.
“Tecknotrove stays at the forefront of innovation and leading in futuristic technologies like simulation and advanced electronic systems,” Mr. Gupta said, adding that the company is a 100% Make in India organization focused on developing solutions for defence, mining, aviation, and logistics.
He highlighted several technology areas currently shaping the future roadmap at Tecknotrove, including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to enhance simulation accuracy, Virtual and Augmented Reality for immersive training environments, cloud-based simulation platforms, digital twin technologies, and advanced sensor systems.
These technologies play a critical role in sectors such as defence, mining, and aviation, where real-world training environments are either high-risk, cost-intensive, or difficult to replicate. Simulation-led training enables safer skill development, operational readiness, and performance optimization across complex and mission-critical scenarios.
These capabilities are delivered through structured systems designed to support large-scale, multi-technology training environments. Among these, Mr. Gupta spoke about Tecknotrove’s Training Management System (TMS), a cloud-based platform designed to enable scalable, connected training by integrating simulators, VR systems, and testing environments on a single framework.
“We are continuously working on upgrading this system to integrate more technologies on the same platform and create a comprehensive learning environment,” he noted.
Industry readiness and the role of OEM collaboration
Addressing challenges that could shape the future of technology adoption, Mr. Gupta pointed to the importance of alignment across the broader industrial ecosystem.
According to Mr. Gupta, early and active collaboration with original equipment manufacturers plays a critical role in ensuring that new technologies are compatible, deployable, and adopted at scale.
“OEM support ensures that innovations meet OEM-specific requirements and helps in early adoption of new technologies. Strong OEM collaboration is crucial for successful technology development and implementation.” – Shantanu Gupta
This perspective reflected a broader industry reality: that future-ready technologies succeed not only on innovation, but also on integration and ecosystem acceptance.
Commercialization is the foundation for future innovation
Mr. Gupta also emphasized that commercialization is essential to sustaining long-term innovation, particularly in deep-tech sectors where R&D investment cycles are significant.
“Commercializing our technology is crucial because it helps introduce our innovation to the market and validate its value and impact,” he said.
He explained that building viable revenue streams allows companies to reinvest in research, scale new capabilities, and continue developing solutions that improve efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness across industries.
“Commercialization allows us to turn innovation into real-world solutions that benefit industries, customers, and the economy.”
Tecknotrove is Building a future-ready, IP-led R&D ecosystem
Looking ahead, Mr. Gupta described Tecknotrove’s approach to R&D as one that balances continuous innovation with strong intellectual property protection.
The company actively supports research in areas such as simulation, AI, and VR, while safeguarding its Make in India innovations through patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Collaboration with industry partners, academic institutions, and start-ups also plays a key role in accelerating future-focused development.
“By taking a holistic approach to R&D and IP protection, we aim to drive innovation, secure creative assets, and contribute to sustainable economic growth,” Mr. Gupta said.
On a broader level, he noted that Tecknotrove’s long-term motivation is to build products that can compete globally and reflect India’s growing innovation capabilities.
“Our focus is on offering products that can compete globally, showcasing India’s innovation capabilities.”
