IDSPS plans to develop a dedicated faculty and student start-up program, addressing the major shortcomings of typical startups. Most startups fail because of a lack of expert mentors, lack of state-of-the-art facilities, or lack of customers for their solutions. The IDSPS program systematically addresses all three barriers.
The IDSPS program proposes to enable the development of home-grown manufacturing technologies and products with IP by supporting two distinct types of startups:
Formed by faculty and students as they invent and develop next-generation technologies during their MTech and PhD research. These startups hold direct intellectual property created under the SRAs.
Formed by external entrepreneurs who have new and better ideas, but lack access to cleanrooms, advanced packaging R&D facilities, expert academic mentors, or early-adopting customers.
Most startups have excellent ideas, but demonstrating those ideas requires multi-million dollar cleanrooms and testing setups, which represents a massive barrier. The IDSPS program provides direct access to state-of-the-art R&D and characterization facilities across India's top academic institutions to prove and demonstrate startup concepts.
Once ideas are demonstrated, the next hurdle is finding users to build a successful business. By virtue of built-in global and Indian companies in the IDSPS industry consortium—spanning researchers, developers, manufacturers, and end-users—startups gain immediate access to potential customers, solving the critical market adoption problem.
Through this integrated support, IDSPS transforms academic innovations into commercially viable, home-grown deep-tech enterprises that strengthen India’s semiconductor product ecosystem.
