Samvaad, as an initiative, was started in January 2018 to provide a platform and enable a dialogue among the different research initiatives going on at IIIT Bangalore. The initiative features a public talk by one faculty member every week, introducing the ideas and questions that they are pursuing as part of their research. The objective of Samvaad is to enable cross-fertilization of ideas, and develop strategic research collaborations between members of the faculty, as well as with interested external partners.
