Innovation Platform is a new initiative by the Entrepreneurship Cell aimed at nurturing innovation at the grassroots level. Innovation platform is an organised group of selected first year students getting together to discuss each other’s ideas. This discussion is now being done on a wiki page. The discussion helps the students stay motivated to work on their idea as well as helps build their idea into something feasible.
What do you get?
- Mentorship
- Industrial contacts
- Technical consultancy
- Avenues for monetary support
- Avenue for showcasing their product to attract buyers
Therefore a complete package is being offered to the students who are part of the Innovation Platform from starting to develop their idea, to student mentors, to industry mentors, to small seed funding, to a sustainable business. Students part of the Innovation platform will hopefully start their own venture in 2 to 3 years.
