Plenome is also pioneering a novel pay-per-use model for conducting remote elections in large organisations, using its Blockchain-based ‘BlockVote’ software.
IIT Madras-incubated start-up Plenome Technologies, which develops tech for safe storage and retrieval of datasets, has raised a seed funding of ₹6.5 Crore from Indian and global investors.
Founded by IIT Madras faculty Prof. Prabhu Rajagopal, Plenome develops Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), popularly known as ‘Blockchain’, based solutions for applications in safety-critical fields such as healthcare information systems, voting and digital database management in large-scale user-generated dashboards.
The other co-founders are IIT Madras MS (Entrepreneurship) student Vijayaraja Rathinasamy, an embedded systems expert, and IIT Madras Graduate Anirudh Varna, a blockchain expert.
The lead investor is Ovington Capital Partners, a Luxembourg-based investment firm. AADI, an UAE-based firm and Manish Gandhi, an investor in startups such as ePlane and CynLr also invested.
The Blockchain-AI solutions firm is now looking to expand into global markets with this funding to enable data transfers in sensitive industries like healthcare and voting.
Plenome said in a statement that its BlockTrack ‘OraganEase solution’ for managing sensitive organ donation databases is already being deployed in trial runs in partnership with the apex body for organ transplants at a South Indian State. Plenome is also pioneering a novel pay-per-use model for conducting remote elections in large organisations, using its Blockchain-based ‘BlockVote’ software. This software was already successfully deployed for IIT Madras Student Elections. Additionally, Plenome is conducting trial runs of ‘Ashwin’, a suite of AI-powered electronic data capture, record maintenance and insight generation platforms in healthcare space.
