How did the IIT Bombay develop you as a person?

The answer is based on the experience of my sister who joined IIT Bombay to pursue her Masters. She was enthralled by the IIT Bombay infrastructure and culture. IIT Bombay has a lot to offer in terms of food, sports facilities, good classrooms, good professors. The thing that excited her the most was the research culture of which the institute is a flag bearer of. She got to interact with professors with excellent research papers and awards. The professors motivated her a lot and said that success at IIT Bombay Is possible only if your work is helpful for society.

This impacted my sister a lot and she started working on a project related to the petrochemical industry. The project guaranteed to save 100 Cr for a company in a year. She worked hard and conducted almost 300 experiments to get the final result. Surprisingly, she was awarded the best paper award in the Industry Applications category, and 41st National conference on Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power held at IIT Kanpur.

During her final day she had to complete her Masters' thesis and for this she selected a very tough professor for bher project to make it all the more challenging. The projects she chose were the most difficult but had the highest chances of getting a latent. Many peers advised her to reconsider but she was stubborn about it and amazingly enough she got the patent filed on 7th June 2017.

IIT Bombay helped her dream and achieve it.
