In a strategic CSR partnership, IIT Bombay has joined forces with Tower Research Capital to establish the ‘Tower Research Capital Machine Learning for Social Good Lab’ at the Institute. This facility aims to harness AI/ML methods for providing extensive hands-on education in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE).

This collaboration targets the pressing issue of employability within the CSE domain, exacerbated by a deficiency in practical skills and disparities in gender and economic backgrounds. Leveraging IITB’s proprietary ed-tech platforms, this initiative aims to deliver highly practical online degree programs, standalone courses, and certification series tailored specifically for CSE students.

Prof. Kameswari Chebrolu, Principal Investigator, Tower Research Capital Machine Learning for Social Good Lab expresses, “Leveraging IITB’s proprietary ed-tech platforms and AI/ML models curated from extensive data collection, this initiative aims to deliver highly scalable, practical online degree programs, standalone courses, and certification series tailored specifically for CSE students. We are grateful to Tower research for their generous grant, which empowers us to conduct educational outreach programs that will positively impact the lives of many aspiring students in the country and also will help us develop cutting-edge AI/ML models in the ed-tech sector”.
