Our group at IISER Tirupati possesses the expertise and experience to provide a range of ecological services to various industry sectors. Most prominently, our group utilizes advanced technological innovations in conjunction with traditional methods to provide some of these services, including -
  • Genomics 
  • LiDAR
  • Bioacoustics  
  • Aviation bird strike analysis
  • Capacity building
From 2026, we will only accept projects that use our advanced ecological and technical skills. For regular biodiversity surveys, we recommend a host of other companies that can provide these. Please refer to the FAQ below for additional information. All our services come with the condition that the data can be used for research for undergraduate and graduate student training, while retaining full confidentiality. ​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

1. What motivates us to offer these services? 
  • Deep expertise and knowledge of the team
  • Strong commitment towards quality research, contributing to conservation of species and habitats
  • Immediate need for high quality research intervention to monitor and mitigate biodiversity loss 
  • Deep knowledge gaps between research and Industry (on the themes we specialise in)
 
2. Why don't we do basic surveys?
Basic biodiversity surveys are offered by many agencies. We do not offer those. Our services also do not replace those. Our services add on to those traditional surveys to add further ecological insights with advanced techniques. These include genomics from Next Generation Sequencing, bioacoustics, and LiDAR. 

3. What happens to the data collected through these services?
As we are an undergraduate research and training institution, we will retain one copy of the data for specific academic research. We will maintain full confidentiality, and results (without sensitive information) will be shared with the proponent.
