Variance: Demo Day
Variance is a one-month deep-tech residency in Bengaluru - free, equity-free, and built for people who want to spend every waking hour on hard problems. From 750+ applications, we selected 14 founders working across foundational AI, robotics, aerospace, and biotech, and for the last month they've been living and building together under one roof.
On Sunday, October 18, the cohort presents what they've built. Expect live demos, honest conversations about what worked and what didn't, and a room full of people who care about deep tech in India.
Presenting:
- Harsh Joshi - India's First Hybrid-Electric STOL Aircraft
- Sachin M Yaragal - Computational Layer to solve Cancer
- Piyush Jha - A Bio-Electrical Off-Grid Reactor for Affordable Water Treatment
- Rhitam Dutta - Custom Actuators for Robots
- Lakshya Shishir Khandelwal - Foundation Models for the Earth's Subsurface
- Pallavi Saha - Vision Models for Outdoor Autonomy
- Tarini Sai Padmanabhuni - Foundation Models for Voice Authenticity
- Prateek Gupta - Data Pipeline for Autonomous Drones
- Jerry Swamynathan - Water from the Atmosphere
- Ansh Mishra - Bionic Hand for Humans and Robots
- Nitu Joseph - Transforming Underutilized Biological Resources into Advanced Biomaterials that Improve Healthcare
- Mukhbir Rahman - Cooling Jackets for Indians Working in Extreme Heat
We're expecting venture partners, angels, founders, and friends from the ecosystem. Whether you're investing, building, or just curious about what the next generation of Indian deep tech looks like - come see it for yourself.
Sunday, October 18, 4:00 - 7:00 PM
Location: InMobi HQ, Bengaluru
Attendance is free, but we're keeping the room small - 50 to 70 people we really want there. Request an invite and we'll confirm your spot.
