Invention Engine (erstwhile part of Change Engine) is an innovation ecosystem builder that runs India's real AI and deeptech startup accelerator – ACE. We partner with founders who are solving hard problems and support them in their journey through our Lab + Accelerator model. Our approach is to look at all these problems from first principles — develop a deep understanding of the problem and build solutions grounded in that understanding.

Invention Engine is led by Varun Aggarwal. He is an entrepreneur (Aspiring Minds, $100M+ exit), AI researcher (1500+ citations) and author (science, deeptech and children’s books). Varun is joined by Shailendra Jha (ISB alum, ex-MMT, nearbuy) and Shubham Bansal (IITD/EPFL alum, YC alum) in the founding team of Invention Engine.
