iHub Anubhuti-IIITD Foundation is a Technology Innovation Hub (TiH) focused on Cognitive Computing and Social Sensing, translating research into scalable social and business innovations.
The mission of iHub Anubhuti is to provide a thriving ecosystem in India for research, development, and entrepreneurship in the area of ‘Cognitive Computing and Social Sensing’ and collaborate with Industries, Ministries and Startups to develop technological solutions which can address short-term and long-term societal needs.
To establish itself as a hub of Research, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation in the area of Cognitive Computing and Social Sensing.
Build a nationwide shared and distributed Cognitive Computing and Social Sensing facility for public research and commercialization.
iHub Anubhuti – IIITD Foundation has been established by Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi as a Section 8 Company under the aegis of the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, seed-funded by DST (Department of Science and Technology).
Intelligent systems that simulate human brain processes to solve society's most complex challenges. By overlapping AI with expert systems, neural networks, and robotics, it simplifies data ingestion, contextual awareness, and query processing to build thinkable systems.
An AI-driven paradigm that treats internet-enabled devices and human sensors as real-time data sources. It targets situational awareness by curating large-scale social feeds, edge computations, and sensor networks for quick decision-making.
The centre aims at bridging the gap between the medical & engineering fields by providing a common platform for collaboration on training, research, new product development and commercialisation
iHub Anubhuti has identified key target domains to deliver impactful Cyber-Physical Systems solutions, addressing critical societal needs in Healthcare, Legal Systems, Education, Law Enforcement & Security, and Smart Cities.
Converting foundational discoveries into deployable technologies and bridging the gap between the laboratory and real-world societal impact.
Pioneering cognitive and social sensing systems, creating scalable software platforms, and developing indigenous hardware prototypes.
A structured deep-tech incubation system supporting ventures from ideation to scale via accelerator programs (DIAL) and CPS Entrepreneur-in-Residence (CPS-EiR) fellowships.
Strengthening regional ecosystems by creating shared testing infrastructure, facilitating academic-industry dialogue, and enabling cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Building capacity for the cognitive economy through training programs in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and data science.
Awarding prestigious CHANAKYA fellowships at undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral levels for researchers working at the frontier of human-centric AI.
Our aim is to support research studies which use a holistic approach to solve problems in the domain of Cognitive Computing and Social Sensing with a special focus on the two grand problems. As part of the TiH, the aims are to develop fundamental deep-tech research solutions and innovative translational technology that can lead to start-ups and other innovative activities.
Support projects doing fundamental research in the Cognitive Computing and Social Sensing domain with a special focus on the challenges that are to be addressed in the context of the grand problems.
Develop channels and pipelines for data and provide a common platform to store and host the data so that it can be used by different researchers and industry for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases.
Support teams working towards development of products through support for prototype development and technology transfer using the incubation hub and accelerator at IIITD.
Support teams working on techniques for better training and dissemination of knowledge for healthcare, such as training to reduce child mortality rate and improvement of nutrition.
Provide support for exposing the young generation towards new technologies related to health-care and finding their applications, opening possibilities for new start-ups.
Establish a network of collaborators that will help us in identifying ground-level problems, field-test our solutions, and eventually adopt our technology through NGO, Government, and Industry partnerships.
For research and development supported by iHub-Anubhuti, a variety of technology will be used.
Immersive solutions that bridge the gap between real and digital worlds.
Advanced algorithms to analyze, enhance and extract insights from images.
Powering intelligent models that learn from data and drive real-world impact.
Building the bridges that connect applications, data and devices.
Secure, scalable and efficient handling of data for smarter decisions.
Real-time processing of data streams for instant insights and actions.
iHUB Anubhuti has a 2- pronged strategy: 1) Top Down Approach and 2) a Bottoms Up Approach.
Focuses on working on the two Grand Challenges in the areas of Education and Healthcare. These are the big challenges where the impact is going to be huge. iHUB Anubhuti pursues projects and actively develops various modules around education and healthcare in active collaboration with the Ministry of Education and healthcare partners like AIIMS and PGIMER.
Focuses on various projects in the areas of cognitive computing and social sensing around its domain. We invite proposals and select projects under the categories of predicting mortality/diagnosis/diagnostic tools for patients suffering from cancer/liver failure, challenges in Public Health, Cognitive Computing and Social Sensing, and Law Enforcement and Security.
Shortlisted verticals are timely and aligned with national developments (e.g. National Digital Health Mission).
Strong focus on contributing to making verticals more data-rich via smart sensing technologies.
Creating technologies beyond the state-of-the-art (e.g. energy-efficient blockchain, AI/ML architectures).
Fostering cross-institutional (80% of proposals are multi-institutional) and cross-domain collaborations.
Forging strategic partnerships with industry to translate technology at scale in the real world.
Outcome-driven approach with project mentoring, regular appraisals, and expert feedback.
Whether you're a researcher, entrepreneur, industry partner, or policy maker — iHub Anubhuti welcomes collaboration that creates real-world impact.
