UST and T-Works Join Hands to Start-up’s R&D costs, Expedite Hardware-to-digital Integration

Thiruvananthapuram, May 21 (KNN) UST, a leading digital transformation solutions company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with T-Works, India’s largest prototyping center established by the Government of Telangana.

The partnership aims to accelerate product innovation in the manufacturing and engineering sectors by combining UST’s digital and AI expertise with T-Works’ robust prototyping infrastructure.

As the systems integrator, UST will offer end-to-end solutions to startups at T-Works, focusing on areas such as Automotive AI platforms, Semiconductor ATE frameworks, and Smart Factory integration.

The collaboration is expected to help startups and enterprises reduce R&D costs by up to 40 per cent and speed up hardware-to-digital integration by nearly 45 per cent.

The MoU was exchanged at UST’s Thiruvananthapuram campus in the presence of UST COO Alexander Varghese and T-Works CEO Joginder Tanikella, along with key representatives from both organizations.

“This collaboration enables a powerful ‘phygital’ innovation platform by integrating digital simulation with physical manufacturing. It empowers startups and enterprises to scale faster and bring breakthrough ideas to market,” said Varghese.

Tanikella added, “By combining UST’s AI and engineering capabilities with our prototyping ecosystem, we’re creating new opportunities for startups and manufacturers to grow and innovate.”

Under the agreement, UST will deploy its teams at T-Works’ prototyping facility and jointly develop IPs, such as 5G-enabled IoT modules.

Startups will also gain access to UST’s global customer network and benefit from initiatives like subsidised semiconductor libraries and AI-optimized workflows.

This strategic partnership aims to catalyse India’s Industry 4.0 journey and position startups and MSMEs at the forefront of global manufacturing innovation.
