BIS & IIT-K organize workshop on standards for startups
Kanpur:The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in collaboration with the Startup Incubation and Innovation Centre (SIIC), IIT Kanpur, organised a workshop titled 'From Innovation to Impact: BIS Standards Serving the Startups' at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-Kanpur) on Friday.
The workshop brought together deep-tech innovators, early-stage and growth-stage startups, and the BIS leadership for dialogue on the critical role of standards in shaping India's innovation journey. It aimed to highlight how Indian Standards can accelerate commercialisation, enhance quality assurance, and support global market access for startups.
Startups participating in the event engaged directly with senior BIS officials and explored standardisation frameworks across diverse sectors—including electronics, IT, healthcare, agritech, AI-ML, defence & aerospace, and cleantech.
The sessions offered actionable insights on managing post-launch quality, meeting Quality Control Orders (QCOs), and addressing sustainability and regulatory challenges.
Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Director General (Standardization-I), BIS, Reena Garg said, "BIS plays a vital role in developing national standards, with over 400 technical committees and 25,000+ standards across 17 sectors. Standards are essential across all sectors, and BIS supports the Govt of India and startups in using them as tools for impactful growth."
