About CoRE
Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) is a volunteer-led initiative to inspire Research & Innovation for Viksit Bharat (Developed India) @ 2047, while upholding our global responsibility for sustainable and ethical innovation — launched in a memory of a visionary Late Shri. Prof. Sunilkumar S. Manvi (Ph.D., IISc, India).
At CoRE, we believe that true innovation goes hand in hand with responsibility and contribution to society. As part of our social commitment, we proudly launch a dedicated research and training centre to honour the legacy of the Late Shri. Prof. Sunilkumar S. Manvi, a visionary academician and mentor who has inspired generations of researchers in wireless communication, mobility, and cybersecurity.
