India with its population of 137 crore has made impressive progress in recent years in increasing citizens' access to electricity and clean cooking. IEA 2020 has noted that Energy research, development and deployment (RD&D) can be a strong enabler of India’s energy policy goals while also contributing to broader national priorities such as the “Make in India” manufacturing initiative” The energy industry in general is witnessing a significant changes in conventional as well as in renewable energy basket. To offset our huge dependency on crude oil import, the government is working overtime to attract global companies to produce solar PV, lithium batteries, solar charging infrastructure and other advanced technologies in India. With time efforts will be on energy mix that will also include cooling, electric mobility, smart grids and advanced biofuels.
The foundation wants to develop an institutional framework where students and faculty contribute to develop a sustainable product. The objectives are to:
(a) Collect ideas from scholars, institutions and every part of the society to develop a product involving the ideator in the development with the technology support from IITs and other premier Institutions. (b) Engage an Institute to develop the ideated product. (c) Fund the entire development process so that Institutes are not burdened at all. (d) Develop a product development process which becomes an academic curriculum to offer a certification or a diploma course. (e) Share the IP with the institute for their contribution through their infrastructure and resources.
The following areas are under consideration for developing products: (1) Health and Wellbeing (2) Education and Livelihood (3) Energy and Power (4) Water and Environment. Download PDF
We work in a unique concept of open platform which facilitates multi-disciplinary teams for co-innovation. Institutional research scholars are engaged as resources for productization of their research and collaborate with professionals from Industries with periodic input and feedback during the cycle of product development. All the research projects will be designed to have a logical outcome in a targeted time frame with agreed milestones within the budgeted cost.
The COVID 19 pandemic has impacted the education sector globally and India is no different. Online classes have become new normal for students from primary school to university level. This has opened up a new business opportunities in digital content, designing of virtual class rooms, blended learning and assessment systems.
Our objective is to develop product and process with customised research and in the process deliver the industrial innovations as an extended arm of Indian premier institutes. We engage multidisciplinary resources to deliver sustainable products, processes and services, create IP and co-host with institutions / corporates. We have a plan to build “Scholar Lab Research Institute” which will institutionalize the endeavour and develop institutional membership with international professional bodies and societies.
Training and Workshop is the key area of focus of Scholarlab Foundation. We will conduct research, we create and facilitate Design and Development. We create industry ready product for business. In the whole value chain lifecycle, from Research to Product and from Product to End customer, it needs lot of training and workshop to accomplish and ensure the success. Hence Training and Workshop is the most important activities we are performing.
