The panel addressing the event

The workshop helped to discover, nurture and refine tech product ideas (and tech-product-entrepreneurs) from engineering students in a guided structured summer program that ended with a demo prototype of their idea. It also helped to create excitement around ideas, products and product entrepreneurship.


The organizers are now evaluating this workshop to be a part of the JNTU curriculum as a summer course and continuing as the final year project. This will help in building appreciation and practical understanding of product engineering with a secondary objective of seeding new start-ups through products proposed and prototyped in the workshop. With extensive guidance, industry amd start-up mentoring and inspiring talks, the workshop enthused the faculty and students.
