We don't run a club.
We run a launch sequence.
IEDC RCET Thrissur exists for the students who stay back after class because the idea won't let them sleep. We give that obsession a workshop, a mentor, a deadline and a stage — everything between the first sketch and the first customer.
Backed by Kerala Startup Mission, powered entirely by students.
