IIT Kanpur has partnered with NTT DATA Services, a leader in global technology services, to support and encourage entrepreneurship among graduates who are working on path-breaking technologies with socio-economic impact in the fields of agriculture, healthcare, energy and education.
NTT DATA Services has committed financial support to IIT Kanpur’s Startup Incubation and Innovation Center (SIIC), said a release issued by the institute.
SIIC was established in 2000 in collaboration with Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) to foster innovation, research and entrepreneurial activities in technology-related areas. It will also oversee and manage the IIT Kanpur’s innovation fellowship programme.
“It is our belief that technology innovation can dramatically improve some of the socio-economic problems that our country faces today. Such initiatives will help reimagine and reshape the world to solve problems for real India. We are extremely happy to reinforce our commitment to SIIC through our social programme and this partnership with IIT Kanpur,” senior vice president, BPO, R&D & Global Business Shared Services at NTT DATA Services Harsh Vinayak said.
An MoU was signed between IIT Kanpur and NTT DATA Services on Wednesday to jointly work in supporting the entrepreneurship initiatives.
