A remarkable impact was made by Amrita through showcasing our multidisciplinary innovations and technologies at the Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC 2025). Aligned with supporting the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’, the event was held from November 03-05, 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, and became a major national level platform for India’s achievements in these rapidly advancing fields.
ESTIC 2025 was organized by the Govt of India’s Department of Science and Technology, guided by its Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor, and included collaboration with 12 other key ministries and departments.
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, inaugurated the conclave in the presence of Nobel Laureate Professor Andre Geim from the University of Manchester, alongside policymakers and innovators from across the world.
Amrita’s passion for compassion-driven research and sustainable technological advancement was delivered to the world through our exhibition stall. Amrita’s team attracted and engaged global audiences with our exceptional work across a wide range of domains. Innovations included healthcare, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, robotics and drones, and climate resilience which orient with national and global development goals.
“Artificial Intelligence enhances human intelligence and addresses large-scale societal challenges such as healthcare delivery, disaster prediction, education, and sustainable development,” shared Dr. P. Venkat Rangan, Vice Chancellor of Amrita, during a panel discussion on AI.
“We aim to make sure that AI research not only advances technology but also improves humanity through ethical and compassionate application.”

The conclave’s focus on emerging sectors allowed our researchers to strengthen relationships with national and international partners, opening new opportunities for collaborative research, technology transfer, and public-private partnerships that support India’s innovation goals.
