This workshop is being organized by the SVKM IPR Cell in collaboration with ASSOCHAM and is supported by DPIIT and CIPAM, Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. It aims to bridge the gap between innovation and industry by demonstrating how intellectual property (IP) can be effectively managed and monetized.

The workshop is scheduled on:

📅 Date: Monday, 13th October 2025
🕘 Time: 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM
🏛️ Venue: Shri Mukesh Patel Auditorium NMIMS, Mumbai
🎓 For: Ph.D. Scholars, Students, Faculty & Staff across all SVKM and NMIMS Institutes
📍 Mode: Offline
Online Mode Managed By Mithibai Students' Council 2025-26 - General Secretary: Mr. Aditya Doshi.

We are privileged to host distinguished speakers:

Mr. Vijaykumar Shivpuje, Advisor – ASSOCHAM IP Council & Director, Patlex Business Solutions
Mr. Ram Krishnan, Vice President, Engineering – Qualcomm, San Diego, USA
Mr. Gaurav Phadnis, Partner – Lex Orbis, a leading IP law firm in India

Ideas are powerful assets. Whether it’s a faculty research project, a student innovation, or a business concept, understanding how to protect and monetize intellectual property (IP) is key to success. Through this session, participants will learn how IP can be valued, licensed, and commercialized to drive academic, professional, and entrepreneurial growth.

In today’s fast-paced and knowledge driven economy, intellectual property is not just about protecting ideas it’s about creating value from innovation. For example, a university researcher’s patent can be licensed to a company for production, or a small business can enhance its market worth through a well-protected brand. Understanding IP valuation and commercialization helps innovators, faculty, and entrepreneurs translate their ideas into tangible business and societal impact.

The session will offer practical insights, case studies, and strategies on leveraging IP for commercial growth and will benefit faculty members, research scholars, and students across all disciplines.

We are confident that this initiative will foster new enthusiasm, encourage innovation, and strengthen the research and entrepreneurial ecosystem across SVKM and NMIMS institutions.

Your gracious presence will be immensely valuable and inspiring for all participants.
