Kochi-Based EyeROV Presents Underwater Robotics to BRICS Leaders

The exhibition showcased the company's indigenous Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), designed to navigate the high-stakes environments of dams, ports, and offshore installations. For infrastructure operators, these machines offer a critical alternative to human divers, automating the inspection of submerged structures while gathering precise maintenance data. CEO Johns T Mathai guided the visiting heads of state through the firm’s technical capabilities, which now include Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Unmanned Surface Vehicles, and AI-integrated analytics.

For the Kochi-headquartered firm, the summit appearance serves as a high-profile validation of its efforts to scale domestic engineering for international maritime security and defense sectors. Mathai noted that the interaction marks a turning point for Indian deep-tech, signaling a shift from local development to global market participation. By focusing on the practical challenges of subsea maintenance, EyeROV aims to pivot its "Make in India" roots into a broader, world-class footprint in marine robotics.
