Pune : Founded in 2017, Noccarc began its journey as a solar panel cleaning robots manufacturer. However, last year, the startup pivoted and began making ventilators to support India in its fight against COVID-19.
COVID-19’s impact on the startup and manufacturing ecosystem has been well documented. While some sectors such as healthtech, edtech, and hyperlocal delivery received a boost due to the accelerated digitisation, others pivoted to survive and also aid India’s battle against the pandemic.
Pune-based Noccarc also has a similar story. Founded in 2017 by IIT Kanpur alumni Harshit Rathore and Nikhil Kurele as Nocca Robotics, the startup began its journey as a solar panel cleaning robots manufacturer.
