Kochi Startup EyeROV Presents Underwater Tech to BRICS Leaders

Co-founder and CEO Johns T Mathai led the demonstration, detailing how his company’s Remotely Operated Vehicles and autonomous systems serve critical functions in infrastructure maintenance. By targeting the dangerous, high-stakes environments of dams, ports, and offshore installations, EyeROV aims to replace manual underwater inspections with precise robotic data collection. The firm’s current portfolio extends beyond simple ROVs to include Unmanned Surface Vehicles and AI-driven analytics, positioning the Kochi-based startup as a serious contender in the global subsea market.

Following the summit, Mathai emphasized that the high-level reception validates the company’s focus on indigenous engineering under the 'Make in India' initiative. As IROV Technologies looks to scale its presence across international markets, the encounter at the BRICS Summit serves as a strategic milestone. The company continues to refine its hardware for defense, energy, and scientific research sectors, betting that its localized development model can meet the demands of global maritime security.
