India Innovation Forum: Transforming Ideas into Impact at Christ University, Lavasa, is designed to bridge global innovation with grassroots transformation. Supported by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology through the Royal Academy of Engineering under the LIF Community Grant, the event will primarily focus on bringing accomplished startup founders to interact with and motivate students. These founders—many from premier institutions like IITs and IIMs—will share real-world entrepreneurial journeys, inspiring students to think beyond conventional career paths.
A key highlight of the program will be the inauguration of a community-owned plastic recycling unit, where ownership rests with local villagers. This initiative addresses plastic waste challenges while generating sustainable livelihood opportunities. With the expected development of Lavasa by Welspun Group, such decentralized recycling solutions become crucial. The forum aims to catalyze innovation, promote rural entrepreneurship, and align with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047
