Guwahati, Aug 27 (UNI) The Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, (IIT-G), is not only teaching science but also started encouraging its alumni to be more entrpreneurs.

Two alumni of the department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) of the institute have launched seven of its products in the first phase of market release.

Yellow Fourier Technologies Pvt Ltd, a knowledge-intensive, technology product-based start-up, had been incubated at the Technology Incubation Centre, IIT-G, a unique project which provides infrastructure and intellectual inputs to entrepreneurial ventures initiated by the former students.

Yellow Fourier is the first of such entrepreneurial achievement.

The company has its Research and Development (R&D) centre inside the campus.

Prof. A K Gogoi of the Department of ECE is the mentor of the company.

Their products are primarily targeted at the electronic laboratories for undergraduate and graduate programmes in universities and technical institutes, as well at the research facilities in the small R&D organisations in India and abroad.

The company would have its own manufacturing unit and marketing would also be carried out through its own distribution network.

Real-time communication transceiver systems operating at 10.7 MHz and with data rates of up to 64 kbps, employing indigenous and innovative techniques were among the products released in the first phase.

Co-founder and CTO of the company Natasha Sodhi said, ''We have filed for patents for two of our indigenous hardware circuit designs. Our products would bridge the huge gap that exists between industry and the academia and greatly enhance the way practical training in the laboratories is conducted.'' Head of the department of ECE Dr Dandapat added, ''Yellow Fourier Technologies have a strong R&D base and their products exhibit excellent instructional ability.'' Co-founder and CEO of Yellow Fourier Technologies Sai S Krovvidi extended his gratitude to the ECE department and the administration of the IIT-G for the support they offered in starting the venture.
