Incubation and Mentoring of Panchsheel Research Private Limited

Power & Fuel (P&F) expenses constitute majority of operating expenses of a cellular wireless network, and Diesel cost alone constitutes ~40% of overall Power & Fuel (P&F) expenses. We developed an innovative tool using advanced machine learning analytics and optimization techniques that can significantly reduce the Operational Expenses (OPEX). The technology was field tested in several telecom sites and achieved close to 30% reduction in OPEX. This patented technology was commercialized by Panchsheel Research Private Limited founded by my former student.
