GDC

Launched in 2017, the Gopalakrishnan-Deshpande Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (GDC) is designed to give thought leadership and networking impetus to help build entrepreneurial systems and processes in STEM universities across India. GDC has been funded by grants from three illustrious alumni of IIT Madras Dr. Gururaj Deshpande, Mrs. Jaishree Deshpande and Mr. ‘Kris' Gopalakrishnan... GDC builds capacity in researchers from STEM universities, incubators, research institutions and corporates to maximise the impact of deep-tech research through scalable start-ups. By enabling faculty and researchers in STEM universities across India to commercialise their research ideas and innovations, we help them go from lab to market.
