Innovation and Start-up Ecosystem at Chitkara University

It all starts with an idea - an invention backed by research. Research at Chitkara

University is never limited to theoretical but is followed by development and

commercialization if possible. Dedicated team of researchers, mentors add-on to the

spirit of innovation in the campus. Various events, competitions, workshops like

Novate, Anveshan, Inventors on Hill Top, Patent Filing Competition are the regular

exercises of the University to foster innovation.

In the past few decades the youth of India has shown a signicant interest in adopting

entrepreneurship as a career. The sense of developing a company and owning it, is

what the youth of India is aiming at. We at Chitkara University help execute the plan of

action of the ideas as soon as student is clear with the concepts. With a dynamic team

of start-up minded scholars the entire system at Chitkara University promotes culture

of innovation and entrepreneurship. Whether you are an early-stage startup or a

wanna-be founder, there is a dedicated team of experts to facilitate all your

entrepreneurial needs, starting from ling patents to preparing you for investor pitches.

Apart from a team there is a tight-knit community of entrepreneurs, angel investors,

start-up mentors & advisors that regularly engage in various events and competitions

to foster entrepreneurship within the region. Mostly informal, these events serve as

networking platforms to connect people to the right opportunities. While events like

Start-up Day & Start-up OPD are aimed at mentoring the student start-ups on campus,

'celebrity events' like ProtoHack & UN Inux are meant to connect regional start-ups to

potential investors.

And to top it all, there are 200+ happy employees working in 35 start-ups at Chitkara

Innovation Incubator, handholding each other with a positive mindset. Because around

here, it's not 'just' about academics, it's also about values, positive attitudes & fruitful

tie-ups.
