01 / THE PROBLEM
During her PhD at NIT Surat and postdoctoral research at IPR Gandhinagar, Dr. Janki Shah faced a challenge first-hand. Despite working in renowned institutions, her project was delayed by more than six months — not because of the science, but because the right testing facilities weren't available when she needed them.
02 / THE REALIZATION
Even brilliant researchers often lose precious time waiting for access to the instruments they need.
03 / THE MISSION
That experience sparked a mission: to make advanced analytical testing and characterization accessible without the usual barriers and waiting lines.
04 / TODAY
What began as one researcher's frustration has grown into RNDgrid — connecting researchers, startups and industries with suitable partner laboratories and research experts, so ideas move from concept to results with less friction.
