Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has sparked a debate on social media after sharing a video showing a drone being used to clean windows in Bengaluru and questioning whether startups are delivering sufficiently innovative solutions.
Posting the clip on X, the billionaire entrepreneur wrote, "This is what drones in Bangalore can do - wash windows, roads, pavements n more! Come on start ups. Where’s your innovation?"
The video appeared to show a drone carrying out window-cleaning operations on a building. While highlighting the technology's capabilities, Mazumdar-Shaw's remarks appeared to challenge startups to think beyond routine applications and develop more ambitious innovations.
