Bridging Innovation and Industry ____
Shaping the Future Through Research Partnerships
Born from the academic corridors of IIT Kharagpur and IIT Bombay, Ants was envisioned as more than just a company—it was a commitment to create world-class solutions in advanced materials and thermal processing, right here in India.
Over the years, we have actively collaborated with India’s foremost scientific institutions—BARC, IITs, CSIR, CMET, and more—through technology transfers and sponsored research projects. These partnerships have not only advanced our R&D but also contributed to India’s self-reliance in critical technologies.
Our Collaborations at a Glance
Technology Transfers
Ants has acquired 10 proprietary technologies related to materials and processing through formal Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreements from various national R&D institutions. These breakthroughs continue to power our products and innovations across materials and equipment.
Sponsored Projects
We’ve supported and co-developed research with India's leading academic and research institutions, helping bridge the gap between lab-scale ideas and scalable industry applications.
Featured Sponsored Projects & ToT Initiatives
Ceramic Substrates for Strategic Electronics ____
CSIR-NIIST & Ants Innovations
This joint initiative focuses on developing high-performance HTCC (High-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic) and LTCC (Low-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic) substrates tailored for the demanding needs of defense, aerospace, energy, and telecom sectors. Leveraging CSIR-NIIST’s deep materials expertise and Ants’ industrial know-how, the project is setting new standards for reliability and multilayer integration in microelectronic systems.


Commercializing CVD Technology ____
IIT-BHU and IIT Madras
Through a landmark Technology Transfer (ToT) from IIT-BHU and a sponsored IMPRINT project with IIT Madras, Ants is advancing the industrial application of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) for coatings, thin films, and nano-materials. The collaboration combines academic innovation with Ants’ scalable engineering capabilities to bring next-gen deposition technologies to global markets.

DK18 Ceramic for Satellites Applications ____
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
Ants Ceramics proudly partners with ISRO to industrialize DK18 — a specialized dielectric ceramic material offering extremely low signal loss and exceptional thermal stability. Used in compact Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs), DK18 enables high-performance satellite and GPS communication systems, supporting India’s vision for self-reliant space technology.
