Innovate For Digital India Challenge :
Digital India is initiated with a vision to drive technology revolution across the country. It aims at building a nation, where broadband is widely accessed; digital literacy is prevalent, and solutions that are relevant for the diverse lifestyles, cultures, and values across India are easily available. This can be achieved by fostering local innovation to drive development of solutions that will help in increasing domestic technology adoption, addressing the real challenges faced by the nation and making access to education, healthcare, and services for every individual achievable.
Providing a platform to encourage innovators with immense entrepreneurship talent in the country to create a sustainable technology ecosystem that will develop solutions for the country is the `Intel & DST Innovate for Digital India Challenge’ supported by Department of Electronics and Information Technology and MyGov and anchored by IIM Ahmadabad’s Center for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship. It combines Intel’s history of game changing innovation and world-class technology with Digital India vision.
The two broad themes to induce the participants according to their potential are:
1. Innovation to create citizen’s device platform with features that are relevant and drive mass adoption of technology such as biometric sensing capabilities, peripherals using other sensors, intuitive user interface, gesture recognition, and multi-lingual & voice support.
2. Innovation to create apps that accelerate delivery of e-governance services through eKranti/MyGov apps on mobile platform.
The Challenge is open to aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, innovators, academia, designers, engineers, and makers from diverse backgrounds. Participants will be provided mentoring by industry stalwarts and Intel experts, assistance in-terms of technical know-how, access to product kits and infrastructure, and commercialization opportunities. They will also be offered market linkages and access to funds at various stages to help make their innovative ideas a reality.
