Kia India, IIT Tirupati launch Makers Lab for innovation

Kia India, a car company, and IIT Tirupati, a big technology school, opened a new workshop together.

The workshop is called the Inspire Works Makers Lab.

It is a place where students can build real things with their hands.

Students can test their ideas and make working prototypes.

This helps them learn by doing instead of only reading books.

The two partners promised to work together more than a year ago.

Kia India is giving more than ₹25 crore to IIT Tirupati over five years.

The money supports the lab, scholarships, research and classes.

School students, teachers and start-ups can also use the workshop.

Leaders from both sides say it will help create the next generation of inventors and problem-solvers.
