Inside India’s technical-education innovation ecosystem

A visit to AICTE and the Ministry of Education Innovation Cell made the national innovation ecosystem feel tangible rather than abstract.

What stayed with me.

The visit opened a wider view of where student innovation sits. A prototype can begin at a desk or in a classroom, but it grows through networks of mentors, institutions, evaluators, and people willing to create the next opportunity.

Seeing that ecosystem up close strengthened my interest in building pathways that help young people keep moving after the first idea.
