TECHKRITI 2025

A Celebration of Innovation, Valor, and Vision

- Words By: Sandesh Bhosle

Every March, the campus of IIT Kanpur transforms into a bustling nexus of innovation, intellect, and inspiration. Techkriti, the institute's annual technical and entrepreneurial extravaganza, has evolved into Asia's largest of its kind, and its 31st edition, held from March 27 to 31, 2025, took things to a whole new level. From showcasing futuristic defense tech to high-octane Robowars, and thought-provoking talks to soul-stirring music, Techkriti 2025 wasn’t just an event, it was an experience that echoed with the spirit of creation and the rhythm of innovation.

The name ‘Techkriti’ fuses “tech” for technology and “kriti," a Sanskrit word for creation, a fitting title for a festival that celebrates human ingenuity. This year’s theme, "Panta Rhei" - Greek for “Everything Flows” was a nod to the ever-changing, ever-evolving nature of science, ideas, and the human pursuit of knowledge.
