Novel Marking Technology
India's first indigenous diamond marking and micromachining platform
Vision
To establish India as a global leader in advanced diamond authentication and diamond-semiconductor technologies through indigenous innovations.
Problem
Lab-grown diamonds and diamond electronics demand precise, non-destructive engineering. Conventional processing often damages the crystal structure, limiting secure traceability and use in advanced semiconductor devices.
Solution
VajrĀnk is an indigenous precision platform for diamond marking and controlled modification without affecting appearance or crystalline quality, also enabling graphitic and functional structures for semiconductor, sensing, and quantum applications.
Potential
The global lab-grown diamond market is projected near USD 60 billion by 2032–2035 (~10–14% CAGR), with rising demand for secure certification, traceability, and semiconductor and quantum applications.
Target Beneficiaries
Solving authentication, traceability, and precision processing challenges for diamond industries, certification agencies, semiconductor researchers, gemstone exporters, and global lab-grown diamond stakeholders across domestic and international markets.
Current Users
Pilot-tested with Indian lab-grown diamond industries: customized laser marking completed for four companies in Surat, and precision micromachining of single- and polycrystal diamonds for one Bangalore partner.
