About planys
How it Started?
The Planys Story
What began as a spark of innovation at IIT Madras and grown into Planys, a global pioneer transforming how underwater inspections are carried out. Since our inception in 2015, we’ve been at the forefront of developing intelligent inspection solutions that combine marine robotics, advanced non-destructive testing (NDT), and powerful data analytics.
Our journey started in 2012 through collaborative research student projects driven by curiosity and a desire to solve real-world challenges. This passion evolved into the formal formation of the company that today pushes the boundaries of underwater asset inspection across critical sectors such as maritime, infrastructure, energy, and process plants.
At Planys, we don’t just build robots, we engineer solutions that thrive in extreme underwater conditions. Our proprietary technologies, supported by
deep technical expertise in Non Destructive Testing, enable us to deliver high-precision inspections even in the most inaccessible environments.
Driven by a strong foundation in science and a culture of constant learning, our team approaches every challenge with a research-first mindset. We believe true innovation lies at the intersection of curiosity, technology, and real-world application, and it’s this belief that fuels our mission to deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient underwater inspection solutions.
Vision & Mission
We envision to become a global leader in providing customizable automated inspection solutions for onshore and offshore submerged structures. Furthermore, Planys intends to excel as a leading product and services company in the domain of Under-fluid Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for long-term asset integrity monitoring across industries.
