NEW DELHI: The exhibition halls at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi became a dynamic centre of innovation, drawing policymakers, startup founders, researchers, and students eager to engage with the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Amid conversations on algorithms, automation, and responsible AI, Lovely Professional University (LPU) distinguished itself with a robust student-led showcase, presenting 15 AI-powered projects developed within its academic and campus research ecosystem.
The university’s exhibit underscored a broader transition within India’s AI landscape—one where innovation is increasingly emerging from academic institutions rather than being confined to corporate research labs. The showcased projects covered a wide spectrum of sectors, including education, enterprise solutions, healthcare, agriculture, accessibility, robotics, and digital collaboration.
In the education technology domain, students introduced a browser-based electronics development platform that enables virtual circuit design and testing, reducing dependence on expensive hardware and licensed software. By integrating cloud infrastructure with AI-enabled learning support, the platform aims to bridge accessibility gaps for learners, particularly those in smaller towns and remote regions.
In the AI tools segment, Genoma Space unveiled a flexible no-code and pro-code platform that empowers users—from students to early-stage startups—to create and deploy AI models. With drag-and-drop model-building features and automated API generation for deployment, the platform simplifies and democratizes AI development.
Exanon represented enterprise-focused innovation, offering an AI-driven business management solution that consolidates accounting, taxation, billing, inventory, and analytics into a unified cloud system. Tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises, it seeks to enhance operational efficiency and promote data-backed decision-making amid ongoing digital transformation.
In healthcare, Femora AI demonstrated how artificial intelligence can support personalised wellness. The platform delivers predictive insights aligned with hormonal cycles, helping users manage menstrual health through data-driven forecasts and enhanced engagement features.
Munoz AI rounded out the featured startups with its focus on workflow automation and intelligent process optimisation in digital environments, reflecting the growing reliance on AI to streamline productivity and organisational efficiency.
Beyond the key startups, the exhibition also showcased innovations in robotics, smart agriculture, accessibility, and AI agents, including EnLab, SAHAYAK, MEKHEX, Edubraille, Dr. Kisaan, Krishika AI, AURA, and Agent Harvest. Together, these projects highlighted a focus on “contextual AI”—solutions designed to tackle real-world industry and societal challenges rather than remaining purely conceptual.
In an interaction with The Sunday Guardian, Dr. Ashok Mittal, Chancellor of LPU and Rajya Sabha MP, said the summit reaffirmed confidence in indigenous innovation. “The India AI Impact Summit has reaffirmed the power of homegrown innovation. We are proud that 15 AI-driven projects from Lovely Professional University—ranging from defence-focused drones and smart agricultural systems to autonomous robotics solutions—have been widely appreciated at the summit. This recognition reflects the strength of our research-driven ecosystem,” he said.
Mittal also highlighted LPU’s investments in advanced AI laboratories, high-performance computing facilities, dedicated research centres, industry partnerships, incubation support, and experiential learning platforms. “Our focus is not just on developing technology but on nurturing problem-solvers who can create meaningful impact for society and position India as a global AI leader,” he added.
As AI adoption grows across India, the strong presence of student-led innovations at a national forum reflects a shift in the country’s innovation landscape. Even though many projects are still evolving, their showcase highlights how educational institutions are emerging as hubs for practical, scalable AI solutions across sectors.
