ATULYA works on microwave technology to disintegrate virus and bacteria. It runs on the technology developed by Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune, deemed university of DRDO. The sterilizer is operated as a handheld device that sterilizes objects, surfaces, surroundings and aerosols within 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on the shape and size it has the capability.
