Envision 2008 is a product design competition organized by the Entrepreneurship Cell, IIT Kharagpur. It caters to those visionaries who have it in them to impact our present, and revolutionize our future. The aim of this competition is to provide an arena where the next generation of block-buster products can be showcased and to provide a platform for the winners to take their idea to the next level.

Whether the products are software novelties or hardware designs, this contest offers you not only academic recognition but also helps you make that idea a reality. Only the most ground-breaking and innovative products are then developed further with the help of reputed individuals from academia, industry and organizations such as TEPP, TIETS, DST and venture capitalists.

We have recognized five different contention paths. Each participant may classify his product in one of these paths along with his justifications.

Mechanical: Do you think your design can beat the Nano? Do you have a design for the next generation biped robot? Then this path is for you.
Electronics: Is the idea for the next iPod floating in your head? Do you dream about circuits in your sleep? Follow your heart, follow your path!
Information Technology & Software: A path much treaded upon, but there is still a lot of scope for innovation in this field. Animation, business analytics, process automation, IT is just getting started.
Life Sciences & Biotechnology: Does your product promise a greener tomorrow? Do you have the solution for the ever increasing oil prices? Well what are you waiting for, start moving.
Miscellaneous: This path is for those who have the cure for diseases we have yet to foresee
