About Pre-Seed Ideation

This is an ideation accelerator program for supporting IITK students’ pre-seed start-up ideas

To covert these ideas in to reality students need small funding. This program provide support to 5-10 ideas with maximum funding of 1 lakh per proposal. The list of areas in the program are (not limited to):

  • IoT
  • Machine Learning
  • Platform development
  • Embedded Systems
  • Robotics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Material genome

If there are students who have ideas and would like some financial support to convert their ideas into reality, they can get a chance to support their projects from this program.

Success Story

Mobile classes for masses

Anchit Singh is a final year undergraduate student in the CSE department. He and his teammate Shreya Kacholia under the guidance of Prof Amey Karkare, developed a Lightweight, Smart Learning Management System (LMS). It is a unique first of its kind of software in the LMS category that uses Telegram Chatbots to disseminate information among students. Telegram messaging apps consume a meagre amount of internet data, making them ideal for students located in areas with poor internet connectivity:

Some of its unique features are:

  • Automatic allocation of student’s submissions to Tutors & TAs with a single click.
  • Code Viewers, Image Graders, Live quizzes, Automatic performance report generation for students and professors.
  • Students can send submissions or ask queries directly from Telegram Chatbot.
  • Professors can build their chatbot commands without having to write any code. These commands can then be used to distribute important files, information, puzzles, research papers, etc.
  • Professors can create a backup of course data (for reuse and sharing purpose) and efficiently handle complex tasks like group projects.
  • Students and professors can store unlimited data.
