Director’s Message

Dr. Girish Bolakatti

Director –
Centre for Innovation
and New Product Ideas

At GMU, innovation workshops are conducted for students in odd semesters, while Innovation Fest is organized in even semesters. Students are urged to participate in both workshops and the Innovation Fest either individually or as groups. Throughout the Innovation Fest week, students are expected to conceive a product idea, showcase it, and provide a demonstration. Following the fest, the most promising ideas are chosen and encouraged to undergo an incubation process, allowing students to transform their concepts into commercially viable and feasible products. The Centre for Business Incubation and Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in assisting students in establishing their own startups. Successful startups have the opportunity to evolve and graduate into independent enterprises. The entire process, encompassing innovation, the generation of new product ideas, product incubation, and the establishment of startups, is illustrated in the accompanying flow diagram
