Building Intelligence Across Molecules, Machines & Minds

Paradigm Chronicles is K-Hub’s fortnightly deep-tech newsletter where we share what our startup teams are building across AI, Drug Discovery, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Material Sciences and Neuro Science. Each issue provides a behind-the-scenes look at real projects, practical experiments, and emerging technologies being developed inside our incubated startups.

By connecting what is happening in the global deep tech landscape with the products we are building at K-Hub, the newsletter highlights where these fields are headed and the kinds of skills, ideas, and opportunities that are emerging for students.

In this issue, we explore how:

1. Drugparadigm is advancing AI-driven PROTAC design with Pro-GAT, a newly published framework that repairs fragmented, chemically invalid PROTAC structures generated by diffusion models.
   ​
2. Cyberparadigm is putting the Let Us Hack CTF platform into action through KNOWHERE CTF, combining beginner-friendly Playground challenges with a competitive Battleground experience for students across KMIT, NGIT, KMEC and KMCE.
   ​
3. Roboparadigm is enabling autonomous navigation on XLeRobot, allowing the robot to map its surroundings, understand where it is, plan routes, avoid obstacles and move independently between locations.
   ​
4. Crystalparadigm is advancing solid-electrolyte discovery through a patent-published physics-informed AI screening approach for predicting ionic conductivity and prioritising promising crystalline materials.
   ​
5. Neuroparadigm is making neuroscience more tangible through The Thing, an interactive experience that introduces participants to gaze tracking, facial-expression analysis and gait analysis through engaging, hands-on activities.
