About Us

Born at IIT Madras, built for the real world

Drutam Technologies is an Indian deep-tech company building at the intersection of silicon and AI. We started at IIT Madras with the ShaktiMAAN accelerator project and are incubated at IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation, with early guidance from Prof. V. Kamakoti.

Today we build for the real world: accelerator IP running on datacenter-class FPGAs, AI agents working inside a production chip-development flow, and forward-deployment engagements that put the same engineering into our clients' hands.
