What the challenge is about?
These are challenging times. But, it is precisely in times like this when we need to innovate and thrive. Maruti Suzuki is joining hands with T-Hub to partner with mature startups working on cutting-edge technology solutions in the Mobility segment. This challenge provides select startups an opportunity to execute a paid proof of concept and receive mentorship from Maruti Suzuki.
The focus areas of this Challenge are:
Automotive Remote Diagnostics
An automobile system that enables the monitoring of vehicles through a wireless network. The diagnostic equipment is connected to a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi-based platform that operates and records the data regarding vehicle health. The data is further analyzed by computer software to provide useful insights. It helps in assessing vehicle performance in real-time, minimizing the service time and preventing further failures.
Automotive Servicing Efficiency
Innovative solutions that can use computer vision or related technologies to help management understand the efficiency of repair and servicing staff in the workshop.
