Supporting the Government of India’s missions of “Startup India” and “Make in India”, IIGP 2.0 enhances the Indian innovation ecosystem by enabling innovators and entrepreneurs through the stages of ideation and innovation, to develop technology-based solutions for tomorrow.
The University Challenge caters to the ideation and incubation of concepts (both industrial and social) sourced from universities across India. Out of the applications received, up to 30 top teams are down-selected as Phase A finalists (15 – Social, 15 – Industrial) through a highly competitive evaluation process.
Phase A: Ideation
Up to 30 top teams are mentored by IIT Bombay; on presenting their ideas to a panel at an Innovators Down-select Event with each team getting an opportunity to pitch to a jury panel. Upto 10 selected teams receive research grants up to INR 10 Lacs each for developing a concept/prototype, opportunities to participate in a Design Thinking Workshop, mentorship and periodic feedback through monthly/quarterly reviews.
At the end of the year, these teams are expected to be on par with the start-ups applying for IIGP 2.0 Phase B through the Open Innovation Challenge.
Phase B: Innovation
Up to 10 University Challenge teams get an opportunity to participate at a bootcamp at IIM Ahmedabad and receive further mentorship by IIGP 2.0 partners. Of the 10 teams, up to 4 teams compete with Top 50 OIC teams of the following year to possibly win seed grants of up to INR 25 Lacs each and enable advancement to the next stage.
