This ambition led us to associate with DIAT (DRDO) and introduce ATULYA steriliser that would enable a safe surrounding for people. The microwave technology of the product can disintegrate viruses and safeguard users during this pandemic. A 30 second simple scan by ATULYA sterilises any surface upto 5 metres depth, thus eliminating any trace of COVID or similar viruses and bacteria. Prof. K.P. Ray, Dean DIAT (DRDO), is the co-innovator of 'ATULYA' and is a world authority on microwave technology. We consider this our responsibility in the current unprecedented times to bring this solution to the masses,” said Monish Bhandari – Founder and Managing Director, Maser Technology.
