IIT Bombay campus is undergoing a dynamic transformation, continually enhancing its learning environments to foster innovation and academic excellence. A significant milestone in this process was the inauguration of the new A91 Eco Hub on October 14, 2024.

Designed to foster collaboration across disciplines, the A91 Eco Hub will house the Department of Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) and Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR). This state-of-the-art facility will also house the Technocraft Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence (TCA2I), which seeks to bridge the gap between academic innovation and industry needs, driving impactful advancements in AI-powered solutions.

This landmark addition to the campus is designed to drive academic excellence and innovation. This cutting-edge facility will be instrumental in nurturing the next generation of scholars and leaders, particularly as Economics has emerged as the fourth most popular discipline at IIT Bombay. The A91 Eco Hub is purpose-built to support this growing interest, providing a dynamic space where students can collaborate and address complex economic challenges, further reinforcing IIT Bombay's commitment to shaping future thought leaders.

This new Hub has been made possible through the generous support of alumni, including Mr. Abhay Pandey (BTech, CSE, '93), Mr. Sudarshan Kumar Saraf (BTech, ME and Manuf. Engg., '70) and Dr. Sharad Kumar Saraf (B.Tech, EE, '69, and current Chairperson, BoG, IIT Bombay). The Institute is grateful to its alumni for their vision, participation and generosity.
