LAB32 Cohort 12: Winners Announced
T-Hub and Hexagon have announced the winners of LAB32 Cohort 12, their joint deep-tech startup acceleration programme. Indika AI claimed the winning title, recognised for developing a real-time AI solution with global applicability — a proof-of-concept that demonstrated both technical excellence and clear commercial potential in addressing large-scale infrastructure challenges.
The LAB32 programme puts selected startups through a rigorous acceleration process culminating in a demonstration day where companies present their proof-of-concept solutions to a jury of technology leaders, enterprise executives, and innovation experts. Indika AI's win represents validation of both the technical capabilities of its AI platform and the relevance of its infrastructure-focused AI applications.
The Winning Solution
Indika AI's winning proof-of-concept centred on its RoadVision AI platform — a real-time AI solution for road asset monitoring and safety assessment. The system uses computer vision and AI to continuously analyse road infrastructure conditions, detecting defects, flagging safety risks, and generating actionable maintenance recommendations in real time.
What distinguished Indika AI's entry was the global applicability of the underlying technology stack. RoadVision AI is designed to function across different road surface types, infrastructure standards, and climate conditions — making it deployable not just in India but across emerging markets worldwide where road infrastructure monitoring is a critical need.
"This recognition validates what we've built — AI that solves real problems at scale. RoadVision AI addresses a need that exists in every country, and LAB32 has given us the platform to demonstrate that."
T-Hub and Hexagon's Vision
The LAB32 programme reflects T-Hub and Hexagon's shared commitment to bridging the gap between deep-tech innovation and real-world deployment. Hexagon's expertise in digital reality — sensors, software, and autonomous solutions — makes it an ideal partner for startups working on physical-world AI applications like infrastructure monitoring, geospatial intelligence, and industrial automation.
For T-Hub, the programme is central to its mission of positioning Hyderabad and India as global deep-tech innovation hubs. By connecting Indian startups with Hexagon's enterprise network and international reach, LAB32 provides a pathway to global markets that would otherwise take years to access independently.
Impact and Next Steps
The LAB32 win accelerated Indika AI's engagement with enterprise infrastructure clients — both in India and internationally. The recognition provided a credibility signal that has opened doors to pilots and partnerships with transport authorities, smart city programmes, and infrastructure operators across the region.
Shortly after the award, Indika AI signed an MoU with DIMTS (Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System) to advance generative AI-based road asset monitoring across Delhi — a direct outcome of the credibility and relationships built through the LAB32 programme.
