Our Journey at DIPEX 2024: Experience of Innovation and Learning

The DIPEX 2024, a prestigious competition-cum-exhibition, provided us with an incredible platform to showcase our innovation and technical expertise. Being selected among the top 250 projects out of 2350 registrations from various colleges across Maharashtra and Goa was a moment of great pride for our team. The event took place at Terna Engineering College, Navi Mumbai, from March 7th to March 10th, 2024.

The Journey to the Finals

Our selection for the final round itself was a testament to the potential and uniqueness of our project. Competing against some of the most brilliant minds from engineering institutions across the region, we were excited to represent our work and gain insights from fellow innovators.

Exhibiting Our Project

At the exhibition, we presented our Flight Controller, an advanced solution aimed at improving drone navigation and control. The response from industry experts, students, and academicians was overwhelming. Many visitors appreciated the technical depth and real-world application of our innovation, which reinforced our belief in the significance of our work.

Interacting with Industry Leaders & Incubators

One of the most enriching experiences at DIPEX 2024 was our interaction with high-profile industry professionals, incubators, and investors. We had the opportunity to discuss our project with experts who provided us with valuable feedback, insights, and suggestions to enhance our innovation. Our networking at the event led to some exciting opportunities:

• Connection with MAGIC Incubation – A potential collaboration for further development and scaling.

• Interaction with Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technical University’s Incubation Center – Providing access to technical mentorship and support.

• Internship Offer from Ashida Electronics – A great opportunity for practical learning and industry exposure.

• A Contact for Seed Funding – Opening doors for financial backing to develop our innovation further.

The Learning Experience

Beyond showcasing our project, DIPEX 2024 was an eye-opener. Engaging with researchers, students, and entrepreneurs gave us insights into cutting-edge innovations in various engineering domains. Witnessing creative problem-solving approaches and new technologies fueled our passion for research and development.
