Student Innovators Secure Grants from IIT-Hyd Incubator

Being one of the 13 partner incubators involved in the stringent selection process, the Venture Development Centre at GITAM played a vital role. These extraordinary innovators use it as a nurturing environment as they develop their concepts and abilities as part of the VDC’s pre-incubation programme.

The ‘Bold & Unique Ideas Leading to Development’ (BUILD) programme was earlier this year launched by the IIT-H’s iTIC incubator in partnership with Greenko Group with the intention of assisting undergraduate students and recent graduates in giving shape to their innovative ideas and ultimately turning them into startups.
