It has been initiated to promote science innovations and create a community of young innovators that can bring about a radical transformation to the world. The exhibition not only inculcates a scientific attitude and research-mindedness among the youngsters but also invokes them to work on the lines of development and building of our nation.

TESTIMONIALS
TechExpo is a really great exhibition for young innovators working on future technology. The coordinators are supportive. Moreover, it's a great opportunity to pitch our ideas to students, teachers, and judges from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Team Tickcount
It is a high momentum competition, a well-organized event by the Techniche team. I feel so fortunate to have had this opportunity to compete among talented people from different fields; from biosciences to manufacturing, the range of fields that were explored during the event was amazing.
ARNAV JAISWAL (Team AJROCKERS)
It was a really intuitive experience. Professors and visitors were eager to know about our projects, and their many queries made us realize some important aspects that we could work on in the future. Judges were patient and humble, they were from different fields and were ever ready to help us brainstorm and improvise on many different dimensions of our project.
