As more and more sectors see disruption via technology, here are some startups using advanced tech to transform sectors such as health, defence, and others.

Artificial intelligence-based healthtech startup Niramai announced on Tuesday that it is developing an AI-based computer-aided software for controlling the spread of River Blindness, a tropical skin disease caused by a parasitic worm transmitted through the bite of blackflies.
