Wadhwani Wadhwani Innovation Network (WIN) 

Wadhwani Innovation Network (WIN) aims to fast-track the Commercialization of Academic Research to shape the future of innovation in emerging areas like Artificial Intelligence, including Generative AI and other advanced AI, Semiconductor Technology, Quantum Computing/Advanced Computing, Bioengineering and Healthtech, SpaceTech and Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology for a better tomorrow. As part of the first phase, we have partnered with AICTE and top-tier academic institutions such as IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IISc Bangalore, IIT Hyderabad, and C-CAMP to establish Centers of Excellence (WIN-COE). Each COE receives up to US$ 1 million in funding annually. 

A partnership with AICTE’s 13 Innovation Centers will further bolster the commercialization of translation research in the next 100+ higher education institutes aligned with the national agenda with an additional joint investment of $10M annually. These centers will provide funding and in-kind support to thousands of commercially viable research projects selected by a national jury of experts.
