The program aims to guide scholars to discover entrepreneurial opportunities in deep tech sectors and help establish start-ups through the IIT Madras ecosystem
The MS in the Entrepreneurship program at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras is being relaunched. Faculty will collaborate with selected scholars on ‘commercialize ideas.’
They will be guided through an effective combination of taught courses, intensive research, astute supervision, and mentorship by highly accomplished entrepreneurs and others in the start-up ecosystem on how to discover entrepreneurial opportunities and formally establish their start-ups.
“The program will create technology entrepreneurs who will ‘productize’ these ideas and work on developing business plans around them,” said Ashwin Mahalingam, a member of the selection committee. We hope to make the ‘lab to market’ transition of technologies easier, develop entrepreneurs, and have a greater societal impact in this way.”
