Leadership Experience

CO-Founding IVLABS
​

IVLABS (Innovation Labs) is a robotics/ tinkerer's lab at VNIT.  It serves as a platform for students to collaborate and work together.

Setting up a Maker's Space

To realise our robotics dream we worked on building basic infrastructure like lab space, hardware tools, equipment and gathering funds. 

Teaching robotics to everyone

We transfer knowledge and inspire students through various workshops to explore new domains thus creating new leaders to propel the innovation.

Building up cool robots !!

At IVLABS we seek to develop unique approaches, innovative thinking, identify new problems and try to solve them by building cool robots!! 
Adventure is out there
Work. Save. Travel. Repeat.
        But Out of
      Limitations
  Comes Creativity.
