Japan's multinational imaging and electronics company, Ricoh will set up a Design and Innovation Centre (DIC) at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT-Gn). The centre will engage in various projects of finding innovative solutions and designing technologies and services that can be deployed in the Indian market.
As a part of an agreement, apart from funding the DIC, Ricoh will also be taking part in joint research projects at the centre. The centre will have designers from Ricoh, who will be working on various projects along with the students of IIT-Gn. The partnership has been initially planned for three years beginning from April 1, 2013.
"This partnership with Ricoh will enable the students and faculty of IIT-Gn to work with the colleagues from Ricoh in an inter-disciplinary and an inter-cultural environment, which is most conducive for design and innovation," said Sudhir Jain, director of IITGN.
