Automation Development
Factory & operational workflow setups
PLC and SCADA work, line balancing, and the boring integration nobody quotes for. We map your current floor before we change anything on it.
Engineering × Business, under one roof
Your All-in-One Innovation Partner.
We don't just build technology — we scale businesses. At ehydra.in, we take you from innovation to product, providing cutting-edge engineering and end-to-end business growth under one roof.
Services
Most teams have to hire an engineering firm and a business consultancy, then translate between them. We run both tracks side by side, so the prototype you build is the product you can actually sell.

Factory & operational workflow setups
PLC and SCADA work, line balancing, and the boring integration nobody quotes for. We map your current floor before we change anything on it.
Industrial arms & custom robotic solutions
Cell design, end-effector tooling, vision, and safety fencing — commissioned on your floor, not demoed in ours.
Smart connected hardware & sensor networks
Sensor selection through to the dashboard your operators actually open. Edge firmware, gateways, and data you can act on.
Prototyping, CAD design & custom builds
CAD, DFM, fabrication and test. We build the first one so you learn what the thousandth one needs to be.
turning the hardware into a business
Funding avenues — Startup India, MSME and more
We track the schemes you qualify for, write the technical annexures, and keep the filing on schedule.
GTM strategy, business modeling & scaling
Unit economics, pricing, and a route to market built around what your technology can defend — not a generic deck.
Pitch preparation & venture capital network
Data room, technical diligence prep, and warm introductions to funds that already invest in your category.
Turning final-year projects into startups
For campus teams with a working prototype and no idea what comes next. Mentoring, IP guidance and a first filing.
Our Genesis
ehydra started on a workshop floor, building hydrogen powertrains for commercial vehicles. The engineering was the part we knew how to do. What surprised us was everything after it — the grant paperwork, the pricing, the diligence questions we had never been asked before.
We watched the same thing happen to every team around us. Brilliant hardware, stalled at the point where it needed to become a business. Nobody was standing in that gap.
So we became the thing we needed. One team that can weld a fixture on Tuesday and sit in a term-sheet conversation on Wednesday, without either half getting lost in translation.
“A prototype that can't be manufactured, priced, or funded is a very expensive hobby.”
Two tracks
run in parallel, never in sequence
Milestones
Filed on behalf of clients and in-house
From first sketch to a unit in the field
Across Startup India, MSME and state schemes
Universities, fabricators, funds and incubators
PLACEHOLDER figures — replace in lib/content.ts before launch.
Portfolio
Six of the builds we can talk about. The rest sit behind NDAs — ask and we'll walk you through what's comparable.
FMCG contract manufacturer
Cut changeover between three SKUs from 40 minutes to 6.
Auto component supplier
Replaced a two-shift manual station; paid back in 11 months.
Pharma logistics operator
220 reefer units on live temperature alerting, one dashboard.
EV two-wheeler startup
In-house cycling and thermal test, built in nine weeks.
Precision machining unit
₹45 lakh sanctioned against a CNC and inspection upgrade.
Campus robotics spin-out
Data room, diligence prep and eight warm fund introductions.
PLACEHOLDER case studies — replace in lib/content.ts before launch.
The Lab
Our floor is open to clients. If you are paying us to build something, you are welcome to come and watch it being built.
3D printing, bench fabrication, hand assembly
Six-axis arm, vision rig, safety-fenced test envelope
Gateway rack, environmental chamber, live telemetry wall
CAD, simulation and the whiteboard most of this starts on
Photography of the floor goes here — drop images into /public/lab and update this section.
Investors & Partners
Building the hardware is half of it. These are the people who help our clients fund it, certify it, and sell it.
PLACEHOLDER partner names — replace with real logos and names in lib/content.ts.
We take a small number of co-development engagements each year, and we introduce our clients to funds actively writing cheques in automation, robotics and IoT.
Our Team
A small senior team. The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it.
Founder & Principal Engineer
Powertrain, automation, systems design
Head of Robotics
Cell design, motion control, machine vision
Head of Growth
Grants, GTM strategy, investor readiness
Lead, Embedded & IoT
Edge firmware, telemetry, data pipelines
PLACEHOLDER people — replace with your real team in lib/content.ts.
Compliance & IP
We sign before you show us anything. Mutual by default, and we are happy to use your paper instead of ours.
Everything we create for you — CAD, firmware, schematics, test data — is assigned to you on final payment. In writing.
We help with prior-art searches and drafting technical claims. The filing goes in your name.
News & Insights

Talk to us
A prototype, a production line, a grant deadline, or just a question about whether the idea is worth it. First conversation is free and we will tell you if we're the wrong fit.
We reply within one working day.
