Talking about the organised Conclave, Satyanarayanan Seshadri, Faculty Advisor for Corporate Relations, IIT Madras, said, “The conclave gives opportunities for students to interact with industry bodies and attend panel discussions focussed on exposing the key innovation and research activities to relevant stakeholders.”

The institute will also be conducting a first-of-its-kind student competition in which participants are rewarded for their scientific and analytical creativity. The problem statement revolves around over-analyzing a product in the market and going in-depth into its history, the science behind it and all obscure mathematics that may be unveiled along with it.

“The competition would be held in two phases. Phase 1 would require the participants to choose any retail product in the standard market, analyse the history of the product and how it reached its final state in the market today. In Phase 2, the selected teams will be provided a common product which they will have to over-analyse in a similar manner,” the institute said.

Chitra Rajagopal, Former Director-General (RM), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Miro Salem, Global Head of AI, Rakuten, OP Agarwal, CEO, World Resources Institute India, Sumit Puri, CTO Evercare, Ankur Gigras, Senior VP, 1mg, and Sumit Keshan, Managing Partner, Wipro Consumer Ventures are included in the list of the top speakers of the IIT Madras Industry Conclave 2021.
