Inside Truflo: Building a Digital Twin with Crion Technologies | सीVCism EP 10

For nine episodes, CVCism happened in a boardroom. This one happened on a factory floor.

Sriharsha Bandaluppi and Shashvat Somany take Vishnu Jayachandran, CEO of Crion Technologies and part of the SIG Tattva portfolio, through Truflo by Hindware — past the extrusion lines, the injection moulding machines, the control room and the tool room — and ask him, at each stop, what a digital twin would actually do there.

Vishnu didn't come from software. He came from oil and gas, where the equipment in front of him gave him nothing he could use, and where getting one decision made meant walking between four departments. Crion grew out of that frustration.

The conversation covers what separates a real digital twin from a 3D model or a dashboard; the two-hour mould changeover and the "golden batch" that could halve it; why data quality decides whether any of it works; what automation can and cannot do, however sophisticated your SCADA; the 10–15 seconds an operator gets to act on an alarm before silencing it; and why the technology isn't the expensive part — the implementation is.

It closes on something Vishnu says about working with a corporate investor: access to a real plant is worth more than the cheque.
