LONDON: The Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick, founded by Indian-origin engineer-educator Kumar Bhattacharyya, has been officially conferred the prestigious Regius Professorship, given by the British queen to recognise exceptionally high quality research.

Bhattacharyya, who is also a member of the House of Lords, is an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur.

“Having founded WMG in 1980 to invigorate UK manufacturing, it is a wonderful honour to be bestowed upon the group,” Bhattacharyya said.

WMG has close links with Indian industry, notably with the Tata Group, Confederation of Indian Industry and Indian Institutes of Technology.
