Research & Innovation
At ASPIRE, we work closely with the Institute’s IRCC (Industrial Research and Consultancy Centre) to drive impactful R&D collaborations with industry partners. While IRCC facilitates sponsored research, consultancy projects, and technology transfer, ASPIRE complements these efforts by providing world-class infrastructure, co-location opportunities for R&D labs, and a vibrant ecosystem that connects companies with IIT Bombay’s faculty, researchers, and students. Together, we create a seamless pathway for industries to engage in joint research, accelerate innovation, and translate cutting-edge technologies into real-world solutions.
Research & Consultancy Projects
Long term projects for new knowledge generation in current, emerging and futuristic areas, lasting 2-5 years .
Deliverables are more open than those in consultancy projects.
A detailed project plan with a budget to be submitted to and approved by the sponsoring industry.
Short term projects to solve specific problems of industry, lasting 1-2 years.
