Mother nature has developed and perfected the art of making sustainable products via evolution through millions of years. We at Gititech wish to learn the science behind these natural materials and the processes, fine-tune and implement them and make them available for the good of mankind. We have developed a roof-cool technology for mitigating air-conditioning needs at our buildings, a reusable and washable sticky surface for maintaining hygiene in our homes and offices, a re-writable and reprintable paper which will reduce the need for cutting trees and a state-of-the-art optical lens that can be used for making high-end low-cost disease diagnosis devices. Our mission is to bring these products from the lab to the market for the good of society.
We are member of Soft Matter Lab in department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Kanpur. We carry out cutting edge research on physics, chemistry and functionality of gels, elastomers, interfaces, surfaces and devices made out of them. While we regularly publish our research in top international journals and present our research in international/national meetings and conferences, we have founded GITI Tech Private Limited
with the objective that the fruits of our research is shared directly with the society at large. In fact, all our products/processes and technologies that we have so far developed and that we are currently working on, have “society” at the centre. We have in our portfolio “A portable, high-end, optical microscope that can be interfaced with smartphone”, “an exotic, high performing optical lens”, “A writable and printable material which can be used over and over again” and “a device for inducing crystal nucleation of protein molecules”. For some of these products and devices, there equivalent does not exists in the market, while for others, the solution provided us is far more competitive than those provided by others. If you are interested in any of our products, please drop a mail to aghatak@iitk.ac.in
