Chennai: The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) is re-launching the MS in Entrepreneurship Program.
Selected scholars will work with faculty on ‘commercialisable ideas, a release from IIT-M said.
They will be guided on how to discover entrepreneurial opportunities and formally establish their start-ups via an effective combination of taught courses, intense research supported by astute supervision and mentorship by highly accomplished entrepreneurs and others of the start-up ecosystem.
Prof. Ashwin Mahalingam, who is part of the selection committee, said ‘a lot of research happens at IIT Madras that has commercial potential. This program will create technology entrepreneurs who will ‘product-ize’ these ideas and work on developing business plans around them. In this way, we hope to ease the ‘lab to market’ transition of technologies, develop entrepreneurs, and consequently have greater societal impact.’
This program is open to students across India who have completed their UG and PG degrees.
