Centre for Innovation (CFI) is a ‘Student Lab’ at IIT Madras. Set up with funds donated by the batch of 1981. CFI was started in 2008 to be a forum for creative output of the budding engineers of IIT Madras.

It provides students the necessary platform for realizing their ideas. A great workspace, a comprehensive inventory, ample guidance from faculty & senior-students and the zeal and passion of the CFI team make CFI a gifted asset for IIT Madras students.

The most important part of the innovation process is free thinking and the interiors of CFI aims at giving that freedom to its users. CFI intends to encourage students to look at socially relevant projects. Additionally, the CFI will also encourage projects that look at environment friendly solutions.
