🎉 Celebrating 7 Years of ASPIRE: A Vision for Innovation & Impact 🎉
On account of 7th foundation day of ASPIRE-UoH University of Hyderabad we gathered to celebrate innovation and explore the transformative potential of healthcare technology. The event featured visionary insights and breakthrough solutions, highlighted by a keynote address from the renowned Dr. D Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman of AIG Hospitals and Padma Vibhushan designate.
Dr. Reddy highlighted transformative initiatives like “Mira” – an AI-based Medical Information Robot, AI-guided endoscopy, and an AI tool that detects fatty liver conditions with 99% accuracy from simple blood tests that were developd and implemented at AIG Hospitals.
His message was clear:
“AI will not replace doctors in the future, but doctors who know how to use AI will surely replace doctors who can’t.”
In addition, we celebrated a significant milestone by signing an MoU with HDFC Bank under their CSR initiative, HDFC Bank Parivartan Grants. ASPIRE is one of the 16 incubators across the country to receive HDFC Parivartan Grants- a CSR initiative of HDFC Bank in its 8th edition. Through its EcoInnovate Program, ASPIRE will support startups in sustainable chemistry, waste valorization, the circular economy, and smart/alternative proteins—providing mentorship, business guidance, go-to-market strategies, and financial support of up to ₹10 lakhs.
A heartfelt thank you to all the students, faculty, entrepreneurs, and industry experts who joined us on this journey of innovation. Together, we are set to revolutionize healthcare and build a more sustainable future!
