#FYI | “Very few are aware of the risks of poor cold chain. If one gets a vaccine which lost its potency on the way, will end up blaming the vaccine”: Mayur Shetty, CEO, Blackfrog Technologies on last mile connectivity
#COVIDVaccine
Honoured to host @rohithbhat of Robosoft Technologies with delegates from Karnataka Digital Economy Mission and Silicon Beach Mangaluru. A meaningful conversation on the opportunities and challenges of building technology from coastal Karnataka
Meet Mayur Shetty on this week’s BIRAC Founder Friday Feature - a story of innovation ignited!
Co-founder of Blackfrog Technologies, Mayur turned a simple idea into a life-saving reality with BIRAC’s support. What began as tinkering soon became a mission to solve a critical healthcare challenge, delivering vaccines safely to the last mile.
With the Biotechnology Ignition Grant (BIG) in 2017, Mayur and his team developed Emvolio, a portable, battery-powered vaccine carrier that keeps vaccines at precise temperatures for up to 20 hours, even without electricity.
Backed by BIRAC’s continued support, from BIG to seed funding and mentorship, Emvolio evolved from a prototype to a WHO-prequalified solution transforming vaccine delivery across the globe.
