A professor of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Rangan Banerjee, took charge of IIT Delhi as its new director.

Banerjee said, “I want to begin by first speaking to all stakeholders at the institute, including the faculty, students and the staff. IIT Delhi is one of the leading institutions and I am looking forward to the role.”

In a statement, Banerjee added, “IIT Delhi is one of the leading higher education institutions in the country known for the quality of its research and academics. I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the IIT Delhi team in its journey of excellence and societal impact.”

Professor V Ramgopal Rao, who headed the institute for six years, said, “It was very touching indeed to see myself in the sky. I have always supported startups and understood their pain points. I believe in the saying that startup founders are our new freedom fighters. If India needs to free itself from poverty, inefficiency and inequality, it’s startups that will have to show the way.”

He added, “Wealth creation happens through technology startups and academic institutions need to play a major role in creating an ecosystem for deep-tech innovation.”
