Rajkot Campus powers startups to make global impact

Bengaluru, Aug 5 (UNI) In a bold display of how academic institutions can become launchpads for innovation and entrepreneurship, a Rajkot-based university has successfully funded over 190 innovation projects, investing more than Rs 5 crore in grants. This initiative has led to the incorporation of over 45 startups, with several already generating market revenue.

The university’s innovation ecosystem, driven by its incubation and research support systems, was showcased during a recent interactive session where students, alumni, and faculty presented breakthroughs across biotechnology, healthcare, agritech, and smart mobility.

“This is not just about academics; this is about real-world transformation,” said Marwadi University Provost Dr RB Jadeja, addressing a delegation of journalists from Bengaluru. “We’ve created a launchpad for innovation where even undergraduates can think like founders.”
