Partnership to accelerate breakthroughs in AI-driven health tech, biotechnology, and bioengineering

The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), in partnership with the Wadhwani Foundation, has formally inaugurated the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Precision & Personalised Healthcare under the Wadhwani Innovation Network (WIN).

This centre, which has already begun work on advancing healthcare innovations, is dedicated to accelerating the translation of high-impact research into market-ready solutions, addressing India’s urgent and evolving medical needs.

The WIN Centre at IIT Delhi focuses on healthcare technologies. In Phase 1 of the project, the primary focus is on Personalised Medicine & Rehabilitation, Bio-Imaging and AI as Diagnostic Tools, Assistive Technology for the Elderly & Disabled, Personalised Implants & Low-Cost Wearables, and Diagnostic Tools.

It aims to create a collaborative platform where academia, industry, and government work together to move innovations from lab to market faster, improving patient outcomes and strengthening India’s global healthcare leadership.

The CoE is part of the Rs 1,400+ crore investment the Wadhwani Foundation has committed, in collaboration with national partners, to strengthen India’s innovation ecosystem.

This nationwide initiative—announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Yugm Innovation Conclave on April 29, 2025—encompasses multiple Centres of Excellence across premier institutions, targeting strategic sectors such as semiconductors, quantum technology, space tech, and advanced computing, alongside healthcare.
