Part 5/7:
IIT Madras's focus is not only on innovations in technology and education but also on fostering entrepreneurial spirit among its students. The establishment of an entrepreneurship cell allows students to convert their ideas into patents and prototypes, with robust support for creating startups. The IND Stack initiative is set to nurture 100 startups, marking a new phase of innovation and enterprise.
Professor Kamakoti highlights a shift in the mindset of students, where many are now dedicated to contributing to India rather than seeking opportunities abroad. The statistics support this; about 95% of alumni are employed in India, emphasizing a transition from the traditional narrative of "brain drain" to "brain gain."
