Know More
Team Openwater, led by Prof. Sanjiv Sambandan from IISc Bengaluru, had spent several years developing and refining a cutting-edge wastewater treatment solution.
Plastic pollution has grown beyond an environmental concern to become a serious health challenge worldwide.
Team Quixotix, part of DST-GDC I-NCUBATE Cohort 04, began their journey with a powerful vision grounded in deep scientific expertise. Emerging from the Biomimetics Lab under the guidance of Dr. Rahul Kailash, NIT Rourkela, the team had a breakthrough innovation—a handheld bioprinter that could potentially allow surgeons to print living tissue directly onto wounds, avoiding painful grafts and reducing surgery time.
