Title: IIT Bombay in the news
Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 14, 2021, 11:09:00 AM
My alma mater in the news! just got this from the Director:

We are delighted that one of the IIT Bombay incubated companies IDEA FORGE, set up by 3 of our alumni -- Ankit Mehta (Mech Engg, 2007), Rahul Singh (Mech Engg, 2006) and Ashish Bhat (EE, 2007), has deservedly made it a big head line today. They have signed up a deal to build and supply drones worth 130 Cr to Indian Army. In tune with the Hon'ble PM's call for 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', IIT Bombay is proud that its alumni founded company will be supplying these highly sophisticated drones to the Indian Defense. The company was founded in the campus in 2007 at our incubator SINE. Congratulations to SINE and our hearty congratulations to Ankit, Rahul and Ashish. It is worth mentioning that they were bestowed with the Young Alumni Achiever award last year.

I passed out of IIT B in 1979. Some amazing things happening there nowadays

Best part is how the Institute encourages and nurtures entrepreneurship!
