What is Embryo? • Embryo is the platform for interaction between BITS Pilani alumni,
students and faculty.
• Embryo enables flow of knowledge and experience from BITS Pilani
alumni to faculty and students by using a threefold approach:
– Complement BITS Coursework through video lecture series
– Facilitate collaborative research projects between alumni and
BITS
– Expose students to current research trends and provide
guidance for pursuing research projects
Why Embryo? • 200 BITS Pilani alumni in academia. 15,000 alumni have graduate
degrees and work in technology or other industries around the
world.
• Rich pool of knowledge that can be tapped into to augment the
quality of research and academic experience at BITS Pilani.
• Geographical barriers make physical visits to Pilani difficult

video conferencing technologies so as to enable alumni anywhere in
the world to deliver online lectures to students at BITS Pilani.
