The Sectors They Serve
From Lab to Market
CNDE builds the science. IIT Madras builds the ecosystem. The ventures build the impact.
Every venture here began as a CNDE research challenge — solved with rigorous science, shaped through IIT Madras incubation, and carried into the market by research teams and founders.
