Techkriti is an annual inter-collegiate technology and entrepreneurship festival organized by the students of Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. It was launched in 1995 with the aim of developing interest and encouraging innovation in technology among students.
Etymologically, the word 'Techkriti' is composed of two words, 'Tech' which stands for technology and 'Kriti' in Sanskrit which stands for creation, hence, the word 'Techkriti' signifies creation or innovation in technology.
Techkriti honors the famous alumnus of IIT Kanpur, Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy (Founder of Infosys) on his birthday and recognizes his contributions to Indian business.
The festival also pays tribute to legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
