From 803 teams to 25. Day 1 of the Grand Finale is underway.

The Lam Research Challenge 2026 Grand Finale, conducted by T-Works, opened today at PES University, Bengaluru, with the opening ceremony, the unveiling of the challenge and the problem statement reveal.

Getting here took months of rigour:
- 803 teams registered from engineering colleges across India
- 150 shortlisted on written submissions
- 50 advanced to the Hardware Hustle round, with kits shipped to every team
- 25 finalists earned their place in Bengaluru

Within an hour of the reveal, the hall shifted from introductions to circuit boards and intense debate. Nearly 100 young engineers are now working against the clock, with Day 1 milestones to hit before automation challenges on Day 2.

This is not a pitch contest. It is real engineering, where ideas must survive contact with hardware.

As organiser and knowledge partner, T-Works designed the problem statement, the hardware kits and the evaluation framework, bringing the same prototyping and systems engineering expertise we offer India's hardware innovators every day. Proud to build this platform with Lam Research, and grateful to PES University for hosting us again.

To all 25 teams: build boldly, test often, and enjoy every minute

From Technology Development to Real-World Implementation 🌍

What does it take to move a promising sanitation technology from prototype to a solution that works in the field, at scale?

On 2 October 2026, T-Works participated in the Upstream R&D Network Development Workshop, hostion in Glasgow, UK.

🌐 The workshop brought together researchers, universities, sanitation innovators, industry partners, and market experts from across the global sanitation ecosystem. Through technical presentations, knowledge exchange, and collaborative discussions, participants explored emerging sanitation technologies, shared R&D progress, identified technical gaps, and examined pathways to bring innovations closer to real-world application.

🤝 The session “From Technology Development to Real-World Implementation,” connected international R&D teams with India's sanitation market context and indigenous technology capabilities.

The session focused on three key areas:

🇮🇳 Understanding India's sanitation market - exploring the needs of various market segments like public toilets, schools, residential developments, and institutions, including affordability, water reuse, space constraints, and operational requirements.

🔬Connecting technologies with real-world needs - Indian technology partners presented their solutions, available evidence, technical gaps, and areas where further R&D or collaboration could help address sanitation challenges.

⚙️Building pathways from R&D to implementation - T-Works outlined its capabilities in engineering, prototyping, system integration, and manufacturing, and how these can support technology development towards ISO 30500 readiness.

💡Across the workshop, a key message stood out: technical innovation alone is not enough. Understanding market needs, demonstrating performance under local conditions, ensuring manufacturability, and building the right partnerships are all essential to translating promising technologies into viable solutions at scale.

At T-Works, bridging the gap between R&D and implementation is central to our role in the WASH ecosystem. By bringing together technology developers, research institutions, and industry partners, we aim to help move sanitation innovations from development towards practical implementation and commercialisation.

🙏 Our sincere thanks to Dr. Marc Deshusses, Dr. Carl Hensman, Ms. Sakshi Gudwani, and the entire Gates Foundation team, along with all participating researchers, innovators, and industry partners, for making this valuable exchange possible.

The goal is not just to develop better technologies, but to make them work where they are needed most. 🌱

One innovator’s idea could change everyday cooking for tribal families in Medak.

Many tribal households rely on wood fires for daily cooking. The smoke can affect health, while gathering firewood takes time and effort.

Er.Gvs Chakravarthy, a T-Works incubated innovator, raft Rocket Stove. It uses less firewood to produce more heat, while helping reduce smoke and cooking time.

T-Works supported the journey with design guidance, engineering and fabrication support, and help establishing testing procedures to prepare the stove for practical use.

On Call to Earth Day, 25 stoves were distributed to tribal families at Sangayipeta (Bheemla Nayak Thanda), Narsapur mandal, under a pilot programme with ESRJC South Asia.

The goal is to help grassroots innovations move beyond prototypes and reach the communities they’re designed to serve.

No template, no right answer. Just fabric and an evening to experiment.

At T-Works, we recently spent an evening exploring Kinusaiga, a Japanese fabric art technique where pieces of cloth are arranged to create a design.

Led by Madhuri Medisetti, the workshop gave everyone the r own pace, play with textures and patterns, and create something of their own.

Experimenting with unfamiliar materials is part of how we think about making.
