Nine million passengers wound their way through Bengaluru’s international airport in 2008, the first year of its operations.

Apart from resolving problems and improving customer experience, the chatbot will help roll-out self-service options like biometric-based boarding, which will reduce the time taken at various stages on a passenger’s route through the airport.
“Large enterprises like BIAL (Bangalore International Airport Ltd) are not looking at initiatives in silos,” says Raghu Ravinutala, CEO and co-founder of Yellow Messenger.
The system integrator not only brings an array of startups to work with BIAL, but also irons out wrinkles as established ways to mesh with disruptors and new tech.
“There’s a cultural element to digital transformation that is often missed,” says Satyaki Raghunath, BIAL’s chief strategy and development officer.
As a pilot project, Bengaluru-based startup Atoll Solutions has hooked up a subset of the energy meters at the airport with sensors to feed real-time data into a digital dashboard.
So we used wireless mesh technology where one meter communicates with another and extends the range,” says Atoll CEO and co-founder Jithu Niruthambath, who worked for over a decade at Texas Instruments prior to becoming an entrepreneur.
The bootstrapped startup’s value proposition comes from the sensors it designs for different use cases as well as how it reads data off a variety of equipment.
As BIAL progresses along its digital roadmap, the analytics platform keeps maturing with various data sources such as commercial and financial aspects apart from IoT integrating with it.
“Since Accenture is engaged in the overall digital transformation work for BIAL, which has an innovation angle as well, our team has a clear understanding of the roadmap, the problems we’re trying to solve, and which startups could come in at what stage,” says Accenture India MD Avnish Sabharwal, who initiated the deal with BIAL a couple of years ago
