Jarsh Safety, the Hyderabad-based industrial deep-tech startup, is redefining frontline worker protection with advanced safety wearables. In conversation with CW, Kausthub Kaundinya, Founder and CEO, discusses the company’s vision, breakthrough technology and fast-expanding global footprint.

We never set out to work only on wearable safety. Most safety equipment is wearable because it protects the individual but our aim is broader: to prevent accidents rather than only mitigate consequences. Traditional safety focuses on protection after an incident occurs. For example, insulating suits reduce the severity of burns from high-voltage contact but do not prevent the accident. We created a small, helmet-mounted device that detects high-voltage sources and alerts the wearer before they enter a danger zone. The principle is early warning and prevention....

We’re fixing construction from the ground up!

In an incisive conversation with CW, Iesh Dixit, CEO & Cofounder, Powerplay, unpacks how the platform is reshaping onsite execution, unlocking real-time visibility and redefining digital adoption across India’s construction sites.When Powerplay began digitising site-to-office workflows, which onsite challenges did you prioritise first, and what informed those choices?From the start, we were very clear on one thing: digitisation in construction can’t begin in the office. It has to begin onsite, with the people actually executing the work. So, the first problems we went after w..
