Invention Factory is a six-week program that brings together students from IITs pan India and gives them a unique opportunity to invent products of their choice. Students will work together in teams to develop prototypes and the “Best Inventions” will be determined by an illustrious panel of judges who will ensure that the functioning prototypes successfully meet an important societal or consumer need.
Originated in the US and conducted by IIT Gandhinagar for the past two summers under the name Invent@IITGN, this exciting invention program will be conducted by IIT Bombay as Invention Factory® @IITB under the name Invent@IITB for the first time this year.
The program began on May 19, 2022 and will see the students conceptualising and developing their prototypes. The program will end on July 1, 2022, when the winners will be announced and the prototypes developed by the students will be patented.

Wadhwani Research Centre for Bioengineering at IIT Bombay is organizing a one-day event on “Low-cost diagnostic for affordable healthcare.” The event seeks to brainstorm ideas with various stakeholders involved in the development of technology and develop low–cost diagnostic solutions. This program will include a few short talks, dedicated networking and brainstorming sessions and a panel discussion on ‘Bottlenecks and potential solutions to translational innovation in low-cost diagnostics’, which will be moderated by Dr Abdur.
Kindly note all participants are requested to present a poster of their projects to initiate the discussion.
It is my pleasure to invite you to the above mentioned event. Thanks to the active participation of its alumni, IIT Bombay has been a pioneer in establishing the FAN network with the sole purpose of attracting researchers from across the globe to develop solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in science and technology. The FAN meeting brings together IITB faculty as well as IITB Alumni that are in faculty positions in the US (as well as industrial researchers on both sides), to meet and deliberate on emerging areas of research, and nucleate collaborative programs. We cordially invite you to participate in the 2022 edition of the FAN meeting being held in the US.
We envision being amongst the top 50 institutions in the world within the next decade and believe that accomplished individuals such as yourself can play a key role in this journey. We would be delighted to host you at the meeting and look forward to a fruitful engagement.
