The six companies are working in six different domains – aviation, nanotechnology, automotive, education, electrochemical engineering and artificial intelligence / robotics.

To boost industry-academia collaboration, the IIT-K has developed the ‘Technopark’ - a zone where industries would be able to establish their research and development centres and tap into the institute’s infrastructure and intellectual leadership, said IIT-K director Abhay Karandikar.

The Technopark building is a six-storied green building specifically designed to cater to large, medium and small-scale industries to create a heterogeneous cluster of industries with greater exchange of ideas and knowledge, Mittal said.
