BITS Pilani has launched an innovative PhD Program called PhD-DRIVE (Deeptech Research, Innovation, Value generation & Entrepreneurship) that will result in the creation of a start-up based on research done during the PhD. This program focuses on the creation of deep tech and deep science start-up ventures, that will solve some of the most critical societal and business challenges. This is keeping in line with BITS Pilani’s history of introducing innovations in the higher education space over the past 60 years.
