01
Bring a problem
Tell us what is difficult, who is affected and what a useful outcome would look like.
For companies & problem owners
Bring us a problem. Let us find the builders.
A structured way to put real challenges into a supervised student-building environment. Your operating context stays at the centre, from the first brief to the final evidence.
A working relationship
Fresh thinking.
Grounded in your reality.
Some problems need a team willing to investigate the details, question assumptions and test a different approach. Udyaan connects that team with the people closest to the problem.
- A clearly scoped challenge, not an open-ended assignment.
- A cross-disciplinary team matched to the problem.
- Mentor guidance and agreed feedback points.
- An output backed by evidence and explicit limitations.
- A conversation about adoption, not a promise of a finished product.
The company journey
From your challenge to a credible next move.
02
Frame the challenge
Agree the scope, constraints, available resources and evidence needed for success.
03
Meet the builders
Relevant students are selected and matched into a team around the challenge.
04
Build & validate
The team investigates and builds with mentor support and feedback from your side.
05
Review the evidence
Evaluate the output, test results, limitations and recommendation for the next step.
06
Decide what follows
Explore an adoption, pilot, research, partnership or venture pathway on agreed terms.
After validation
Choose the outcome that creates value.
A solution can be useful without becoming a company. The problem owner and team decide the next move based on the evidence and the project arrangements.
Company adoption
A problem owner chooses to pilot, adopt or pay for a solution that creates value.
Research & IP
The evidence opens a research pathway, intellectual property opportunity or further technical development.
Student venture
A validated opportunity and a team willing to continue can become the foundation of a new venture.
Start with the right brief
The problem, not a predetermined answer.
Tell us what happens today, where it falls short and who experiences the consequences. Include constraints such as cost, safety, operations or access to data.
Before work begins, agree confidentiality, access, contribution and IP terms. Do not include sensitive business information in an initial enquiry.
Prepare your problem briefPartnership questions
Clear expectations.
Better work.
Who can bring a problem?
Companies, industry partners, researchers and other problem owners can start a conversation with Udyaan. The team reviews fit, feasibility and available support before accepting a challenge.
Do we choose the solution?
You provide context, constraints and feedback. The student team investigates the problem and proposes an approach that can be tested, rather than simply implementing a predetermined answer.
How much involvement is expected?
A useful brief needs someone who can explain the context and respond to questions. Review frequency, access and participation are agreed during scoping.
Who owns the IP, and what does adoption cost?
IP, licensing, commercial terms and any adoption payment depend on the specific project and contributor agreements. These are established with the university and relevant partners, not assumed from a website submission.
