Nuronics Wins National Anti-Piracy Challenge at WAVES 2025
Aamir Khan Presents Award as Filmmaker Teja Backs India’s AI Innovation
Hyderabad-based AI startup Nuronics secures top spot among 1,600+ teams in the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting’s “Create in India Anti-Piracy Challenge”
In a major breakthrough for India’s growing AI and media-tech ecosystem, Hyderabad-based Nuronics has clinched the top position in the Create in India Anti-Piracy Challenge, held at WAVES 2025 — the country’s largest summit dedicated to media and entertainment technology. Organized by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, the national-level competition saw participation from over 1,600 tech teams, but Nuronics’ cutting-edge AI solution stood out as the winner.
Bollywood superstar and social impact advocate Aamir Khan presented the award, adding star power to the historic moment and underlining the importance of protecting intellectual property in the digital age.
The previous day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Create in India pavilion and praised the role of indigenous innovation in solving critical national challenges. Nuronics’ technology fits squarely into the PM’s “Made in India for the World” vision, offering a scalable AI-powered defense against digital content piracy — not just for India, but for global industries like Hollywood as well.
NuroTrace™: India’s Game-Changing AI-Powered Anti-Piracy Platform
At the core of Nuronics’ success is its flagship product, NuroTrace™ — an AI-driven content security system designed to detect, trace, and neutralize piracy across platforms such as cinema, OTT, live streaming, digital media, and music. Unlike traditional watermarking tools, NuroTrace™ uses machine learning, entropy modeling, and intelligent signal processing to embed traceable ownership metadata invisibly into content, ensuring real-time piracy response and robust protection.
With India’s media and entertainment industry losing over $1.2 billion annually to piracy, the need for smart, scalable anti-piracy solutions has never been more urgent. Nuronics is stepping up to fill that void — with a solution built 100% in India.
Filmmaker Teja and Tezaract Partner with Nuronics
Backing this revolutionary innovation is renowned filmmaker Teja, a vocal advocate for creative rights and digital content protection. Through his tech venture Tezaract, Teja has partnered with Nuronics to support and scale this transformative technology.
“Piracy kills creativity at its roots,” said Teja.
“Nuronics represents what’s possible when AI meets purpose. We supported this because creators deserve more than takedown tools — they need frame-level protection from day zero.”
Teja’s support exemplifies the collaboration between India’s creative and tech sectors — a synergy that could redefine digital rights management worldwide.
Nuronics: Building India’s Sovereign AI Stack for Global Impact
Founded by Viplav Valluri and Dr. Ramana A. V., Nuronics is on a mission to build secure, sovereign, and scalable AI stacks made entirely in India. The company has already won accolades in previous national innovation programs and now leads the charge in redefining AI-based content protection.
As Nuronics and Tezaract join forces, the message is clear: India is ready to lead the global fight against digital piracy with next-generation AI technologies. With the award-winning NuroTrace™ platform and high-profile industry backing, Nuronics is setting new standards in media security and digital rights protection.
