About Us...
Estro Tech Robotics is an up-and-coming future-ready tech company driven by brilliant young entrepreneurs. Their comprehensive vision to get well known in the field of technology and to be a part of world-class, sustainable projects that are challenging, elevating, and contribute significantly to the betterment of mankind, is quite exemplary. They have an arsenal of premium products under the brand name of VIRUZID that are ready to ship out in addition to the innovative development of other products in their R&D department. Their flagship product is a UV Disinfection Robot which was conceptualized during their final year of college at Jyothi Engineering College, Cheruthuruthy in November 2019 as a final year project, which was completed in 2020 and applied for the patent. Using these robots, designated areas can be efficiently decontaminated while allowing the operator to operate with a smartphone from a distance with live camera feedback for the highest levels of safety. UV disinfection technologies are known to play a major role in a multiple barrier approach to reduce the transmission of viruses and pathogens. It helps sterilize hospital rooms, production houses, offices, and storage areas without personnel present and provides 360° treatment.

Journey to Startup
They started their start-up last year with the motive of seeking an opportunity in the field of technology to be a part of world-class, sustainable projects that are challenging, elevating, and contribute significantly to the betterment of mankind. The idea began as a final-year college project and has now bloomed into a full-blown venture. The motive of their project starts in 2018, there was a Nipah Virus outbreak in Kerala, which resulted in several health issues and deaths. This incident inspired them to look for a solution and think about how technology can help if the outbreak repeats itself. They understood the need for robotic sanitization. From the research, they found technology-based solutions and finally came up with the idea of UV Sterilizing robots." The path to success by innovation is never a smooth ride. There were many obstacles. Team Estro Tech Robotics had to overcome this to get where they are today. The fact that they were from a mechanical engineering background made it tough for them to dip their toes into robotics, which is a multidisciplinary field containing applications of mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, computer science and control engineering. However, Estro Tech Robotics was able to overcome this hurdle by consulting with experts in the field and learning a great deal by themselves. Moreover, they had to deal with financial problems as well. But with the help of bootstrapping, they managed to overcome it. Then came the real obstacle that began in early 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic took the world by storm. Labs were closed, industries stopped supplying raw materials, and they were unable to physically meet at their workplace due to social distancing and the nationwide lockdown which had been imposed. However, their determination never faltered and with a consistent effort, great persistence, and special permissions from the relevant authorities, they got back to work and completed their first model. Currently, they are working on pandemic-related projects such as oxygen concentrators along with the Government Engineering College in Thrissur, and they plan to donate them to the needy. Young entrepreneurs like Christo Kollannur, Christo Varghese and their team will bring about the dawn of India as a technological superpower.
