India's Adani Group is known for holding "Green Talks," an annual event that brings together social entrepreneurs to talk about environmental issues.
This year's participants included a company called Dwek Mobility that developed a device that can be bolted on to any bicycle to turn it into an electric vehicle in minutes, the Times of India reports.
Other startups at the event included Marut Drones, which makes smart drones that can be used in multiple agricultural applications, and OEnergy Solar, which is working on making solar solutions affordable and accessible to all.
Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani said in a statement that the company welcomes startups to use the event as a "sandbox to deploy their solutions."
The Adani Group has previously worked with other startups including iCure, which provides healthcare services in India's Sundarbans region, and prosthetics technologist RoboBionics.
