Sankalp Product Nation Initiative

Product Nation: India’s Next Big Leap

The Opportunity: With shifting global dynamics and rising demand for alternatives to China, India has a once-in-a-generation chance to transform into a true Product Nation.

The Challenge: India faces a critical shortage of core engineering talent—professionals trained to design and build physical products that don’t just code but also solve real problems in manufacturing, mobility, healthcare, energy, and beyond.

The Solution: The Sankalp Product Nation Initiative (SPNI) is on a mission to close this gap. By transforming Tier 2/3 engineering colleges into innovation hubs, SPNI empowers students, startups, industry and faculty to drive product-centric innovation at scale.


About Sankalp Product Nation Initiative

The Sankalp Product Nation Initiative (SPNI) is inspired by a proven 20-year collaboration between Sankalp Semiconductors and BVB College, now KLE Tech—focused on transforming core engineering education in India.

Recognized globally, BVB (KLE Tech) was featured in an MIT Boston report as one of the top five upcoming institutions to watch for innovation in engineering education, the only institute in India to feature in this list. In 2025, BVB students won 1st and 2nd place (3rd prize IIT Madras) in Samsung’s prestigious Chip Design Competition, outshining India’s top-tier institutes.

Today, BVB (KLE Tech) has enabled 10+ startups from campus, a testament to what’s possible when education meets innovation. SPNI is founded by the same team that worked together on this journey and our mission is to scale this transformation replicating and adapting this model across engineering colleges in Maharashtra and India.

VidyaLeap – Supercharged with Purpose & Possibility

Vidyaleap is the anchor program of the Sankalp Product Nation Initiative, built to identify, ignite, and elevate core engineering talent across India.
