President Tie Mysuru Chapter Bhaskar Kalale emphasized during this event on Wednesday’s business of the National Technology on 2025 and said India would record an explosion in this industry. “Since refreshments based on millet to vertical agriculture, young innovators have been dealing with real problems. However, they often lack deep scientific validation that institutions such as Cftri can provide. This is where CFTri has to evolve from the Launchpad Knowledge Center for entrepreneurs,” he said.
On the occasion of the National Technology on 2025 at the Campus of the Institute in Mysurus, the addressing of scientists and employees of CSIR-CFTRI said the student had developed a biscuit with a high protein content by means of waste pulses. Instead of being published alone, she worked with the incubator to put it on rural companies. Similarly, a researcher working on food defects uses predictive analysis to create a supplier chain with life monitoring.
“We need technopreneura-scientists, who are also solving problems, communicators and leaders.
“AI takes over every sector – and food is no exception. In food technology, AI can be an invisible force that controls efficiency, personalization and safety,” he said.
Cftri may think about using computer vision to detect contaminants in real time (AI in food safety); Analysis of thousands of food samples to detect the trends of micronutrients (AI in nutrition research) and designing recipes adapted to regional shortcomings or specific age groups (AI in food formulation) and predicting demand, optimizing distribution and prolongation (AI in reducing waste).
“AI is not a magic wand. It needs curatorial data, domain expertise and continuous learning.
He urged Cftri to invest in the construction of AI capacities with technology institutions, brought data scientists and built laboratories prepared for A-edited. The future does not belong to an isolated innovator. It belongs to the collaborative ecosystem-where the academic community, starting businesses, businesses, farmers and consumers together create solutions.
Mr. Kalale spoke of the huge potential for cooperation between Tie and Cftri. Tie, as many of you know, is a global network of entrepreneurs, mentors, investors and thought leaders who have committed themselves to support business. We saw first -hand mentoring, approach to financing and global exposures can transform the idea of a research worker into a scalable start.
Cftri has held decades of scientific depth, credibility and expertise in food innovation. “TIE can help scientists and CFTRi students transfer laboratory research into enterprises prepared by mentoring, development of business models and investors’ connection.
He said that Tie Angels and other investor networks can support deep technology food companies incubated in Cftri, helping them faster and smarter.
CFTRI Director Sridevi Annapurn Singh chaired the event.
