ETSA 2024: Need stronger collaboration between private investors and govt to support deeptech startups: BrainSight AI founder Laina Emmanuel
This is part of a series of interviews with the winners of The Economic Times Startup Awards 2024.
From navigating multiple rounds with doctors and pharmaceutical companies in 2020, when no one was willing to test its product, to securing a Central Drug Standard Control Organisation licence and achieving commercialisation in 2024, BrainSight AI has made significant progress.
By enabling neurosurgeons to map brains more precisely and interpret MRI scans efficiently — especially as the world grapples with mental health challenges —BrainSight AI earned the Top Innovator award at the ET Startup Awards 2024. This was BrainSight’s second shot at the award, after it emerged runners up in 2023. This year the clinical recognition along with commercial launches made it the jury’s favourite.
Also what resonated the most is the company’s entry into clinical psychiatry, a major emerging sector in the country and world over.
Founded by Laina Emmanuel, an engineer, and Rimjhim Agrawal, a PhD in machine learning for psychiatry, the company is now poised to generate business revenues as it enters the commercial phase. The Bengaluru-based startup wants to scale the deployment of its product from around nine hospital groups to 100 with 30 to 40 cases being analysed a month by the end of the year.
