If March at Plaksha could be captured in a single expression, it would reflect energy, passion and an unstoppable spirit.

The momentum was evident at the Progressive Punjab Investors’ Summit, where around 6,000 delegates gathered on campus to explore Punjab’s next phase of growth.

Students brought ideas to life as 25 teams presented at the Entrepreneurial Challenge Cup, while TEDx Plaksha offered perspectives across technology and society.

Beyond campus, alumni reconnected in Bengaluru, strengthening the network and reinforcing the Plaksha community.

From large-scale dialogue to student-led initiatives, March was defined by purposeful action.

Global master’s opportunities can begin during your undergraduate journey.

At Plaksha, three BTech students have been selected for the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering & Applied Science through the 4+1 master’s pathway.

Tanay Raghunandan Srinivasa and Shivangi Agarwal have received offers for the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer and Information Science (MSE CIS), while Yuvna Jain has received an offer for the Master of Science in Bioengineering.

This pathway has been enabled through the academic partnership between Plaksha and Penn Engineering.

25 startups. AI, deep-tech and IoT. One stage.

Students, faculty, research fellows, and teaching fellows from various institutions pitched their startup ideas at the Entrepreneurial Challenge Cup 2026.

The winner was STAMP — a reputation and verification network for AI agents — which addressed a critical gap as AI systems become more autonomous and trust becomes harder to verify.

Other winners included Thinklude (an accessibility platform for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals), Tuckn'Trust (a trusted childcare services platform), DCompute (GPU infrastructure reducing AI compute costs), Promptly (middleware that cuts AI costs without changing code), Temporal Cognition Engine (an AI system enabling time-based reasoning and decision-making), and Underground (capsule-based logistics for parcel transport).

Additional featured ventures included AI-powered road damage detection, AI-driven personalized career navigation, advanced 2D materials, and a solar-hybrid cooling technology, each offering innovative solutions to real-world challenges.

Hosted by the Plaksha Incubation Centre, in collaboration with the Minor in Technology Entrepreneurship and the Info Edge Centre for Entrepreneurship, the event awarded ₹4 lakh through cash prizes and grants, while also providing access to valuable networks.

Student-led ideas evolved into solutions with real-world applications. This is what happens when learners are given the resources, mentorship, and freedom to build — not after graduation, but during their time on campus.

Interdisciplinary research, creating new knowledge.

At Plaksha, PhD scholars pursue research in Biosystems Engineering and Human Health, Robotics and Deep Learning, Computer Science and AI/ML, Environment and Clean Energy, Natural Sciences, and Humanities. Guided by faculty trained at leading global institutions, with expertise across AI, computational sciences, biological systems, and sustainable technologies, students work on real-world challenges.

With research support and access to international fellowships, the PhD program empowers scholars to emerge as frontrunners in various disciplines. It also nurtures a community with over 50% women.

Applications for the Monsoon 2026 intake are open.
