Kochi: A US-based
non-profit organisation Saturday offered free internship
opportunities to bright Indian students in American engineering
colleges.
The Lab-X Foundation launched the pilot programme in collaboration
with Startup Village here to facilitate the internship
opportunities and outreach programmes in the US.
Startup Village here, the first PPP (public private partnership)
model incubator in the country, is promoted by the central
government at Technopark with MobME Wireless.
It focuses on mobile-internet companies.
"Most Indian engineering schools have lack of research and
development and entrepreneurial effort to build a robust high-tech
environment. Barring the IIT'ians, majority of the students do not
have any global exposure or hands-on learning experience," said
Sampriti Bhattacharyya, director of Lab-X Foundation and a
doctoral student at MIT.
Lab-X Foundation is set to address this problem by organising
structured programmes to promote research, innovation and
entrepreneurship throughout the country and build the next
generation leaders.
Lab-X Foundation was co-founded by Sampriti, Ketan Dande and Chris
Garry to provide students in developing countries with
opportunities to gain practical, hands-on experience.
