IIT Alumni Council launches Gen-AI Platform to chronicle transformative stories from India
_”The book (The Maverick Effect) inspired IIT Alumni Council donors and members to emulate Harish Mehta’s storytelling legacy, uncovering hidden tales of transformative movements that could inspire generations. However, the decade-long journey of creating such impactful works highlighted the need for a faster yet equally authentic process, leading to the creation of GAP.”_ – IIT Alumni Council, on the launch of its Generative AI Platform
With its ambitious vision to produce 100 impactful stories in just 100 weeks, the IIT Alumni Council’s Generative AI Platform (GAP) now offers a powerful tool to preserve and share stories of resilience, innovation, and impact.
It has been humbling and deeply rewarding to hear how readers connected with the histories of early NASSCOM and the Indian IT industry. Many shared that these stories resonated because they reflected experiences that were inherently Indian — Indian entrepreneurs overcoming uniquely Indian challenges to create something transformative.
Here’s to seeing many more of India’s transformative journeys documented for generations to come.
Wishing you a year of inspiring stories!
