IIT-Delhi organises second edition of 'Industry Day'

To further strengthen the collaboration between industry and IIT-Delhi, the institute organised the second edition of ‘Industry Day’ on September 22. The idea of the one-day event was to showcase the industry-relevant work happening at IIT-Delhi and how the institute can help in solving the challenges faced by industry. “In terms of scale and participation, it is much larger than last year. Around 700-800 people, including those from various industries, faculty, students and alumni took part in the event,” said Mr. Anurag Rathore, Associate Dean, Corporate Relations, IIT-Delhi.

The partnerships are primarily in the form of extensive research and development projects, CSR collaborations, training programmes and technical collaborations.

This year, around 40 stalls were put up in the institute, showcasing everything from electric mobility products to removal of arsenic from potable water. This year the event also focussed on providing job opportunities for PhD students who were seeking to get placed in the industry.
