Innovations Lab Program Sponsor
“The best things in life are free and the best experiences ought to be invisible… you shouldn’t even notice them because they’re so seamless,” — this was the motto when we initiated the Innovations Lab program in the US.
It helped us build academia-industry relationships across top-tier US universities, executing successful collaborations and practicums, with recognition as the cherry on top. The real win is our cohorts—data-exploring individuals who bring innovative thinking and diverse perspectives to solving problems, enriching us as we grow."

Voices from the Program
Real experiences. Real impact.
"I didn't just learn AI; I built it."
I developed a multi-agent system using LangGraph that pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in production. This was a career launchpad, not an internship.
Intern
Gen AI Engineer
"Real problems. Real solutions."
Integrating HubSpot with Google Gemini required a deep dive into ADK and MCP. The Lab gave me the tools to solve actual global business problems.
