+ About
Innovation and collaboration for change.
The Tata Center for Technology and Design trains and supports MIT researchers working to solve challenges facing communities in India and the developing world. Our work spans six overlapping areas: agriculture, energy, environment, health, housing, and water.
Tata Center projects go beyond the lab and seek real-world impact, guided by the core principles of relevance, practicality, and sensitivity to context.
Working with collaborators throughout India, and with our sister-centre at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, the Tata Center creates solutions designed to serve human needs.
