My Journey From A Start-Up To IIM Nagpur | Agniva Das, Co-Founder: Phoenix Robotix Pvt. Ltd.
On 15th January 2015, I met one of my batchmates and a friend – Amiya Kumar Samantaray – who was working on Robotics Workshops and PCB designing. I liked the concept, and after a thought, we started working together on Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System (AAQMS), which could sense the environmental parameters in real-time and send it to the cloud server for further analytics and information. That was the start of my journey on the Internet of Things (IoT) manufacturing and solutions, and for the next three crucial years of my life, before I joined IIM Nagpur for my MBA, this start-up was my oxygen. And we named this trip as Phoenix Robotix Pvt. Ltd., incorporated on 15th May 2015 and I embraced this risky love as the Cofounder, Director and Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO).
