INDUSTRY DEFINED PROBLEMS - Challenges Straight From the Industry
“An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.”- Friedrich Engels
An event to marry your academic brilliance to real life Industrial problem; a platform to put your imagination at work; a challenge to innovate and find solutions. Forming a link between academia and industry, this event touches almost every aspect of engineering study- from depth of scientific thought to feasibility of your solution. The problem statement would be modelled on a current industry trend and the participants are expected to provide comprehensive executable solutions.

Literati is proud to present Industry Defined Problems in association with United Nations Information Center. We'd like to extend our heartiest thanks to them for posing us with challenges that require to be contemplated upon by the top brains of the country. We hope we'd be able to come up with solutions to these problems which'd benefit not only India, but humanity as a whole.
