During the Convocation Address at IIT Madras, the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, said, “I visited the Research Park established on Campus. This is the first such effort in the country.  I saw an extremely vibrant start-up ecosystem today. I was told, that so far, about 200 start-ups have been incubated here.  It was my good fortune to see some of them.  I saw efforts in electric mobility, internet of things, health care, Artificial Intelligence and more. All these start-ups should create unique Indian brands which will make their places in the world markets in future.”

Further, he added, “India’s innovation is a great blend of Economics and Utility. IIT Madras is born in that tradition. Here the students and researchers take up the toughest problems and come up with a solution that is accessible and workable for all. I am told students here intern with start-ups, write codes from their rooms and that too without food or sleep.  Except for the hungry and no sleep part, I hope that the spirit of innovating and pursuing excellence continues in the times to come.”

Shri Narendra Modi expressed happiness at what he saw, gave advice on what the companies and centres could do next, and said that suggestions from them could be sent to his office.
