Where it all began The Magic Beans About Us The Path Less Taken

The ILS IPR Cell was brought to life by Prof. Dr. Nilima Bhadbhade with the objective of introducing to the students the emerging field of intellectual property rights. Ever since, Dr. Bhadbhade has stood right next to this Cell as our guiding star, and continues to mentor us towards excellence. Ever since, Professor Mrs. Suvarna Nilakh has been instrumental in conducting the operations of this Cell. She has planned, discussed, brainstormed and toiled alongside the students to make the Cell what it is today. To both these stalwarts, we present our sincerest gratitude.
