Masters' Union Opens Free AI Labs Access for Women Innovators

By: Women Entrepreneurs Review Team | Wednesday, 19 August 2026

Masters’ Union has launched a new initiative to provide women with free access to its AI labs, technology infrastructure, and faculty expertise. Every Saturday and Sunday, women students, entrepreneurs, professionals, and innovators can use these resources at the institute’s DLF Cyber Park campus in Gurugram.

The initiative aims to support women who are already exploring and building in the AI space but may lack access to the right tools, infrastructure, and expert guidance needed to turn their ideas into real-world solutions and products.

According to a release issued by the institute, the program offers more than occasional workshops or awareness sessions. It provides regular, hands-on access to the same AI facilities, technology, and faculty expertise available to Masters’ Union students.

Sudhanshu Garg, Senior Director at Masters' Union Makers Lab said, "India needs more young women who are confident not just with software, but with a soldering iron, a 3D printer, or a prototype that doesn't work the first ten times. That culture has to start early, with real access to tools, spaces, and mentors. We're already seeing women build in consumer products, climate, mobility, robotics, design-led brands and manufacturing. What these ideas need most isn't just capital or mentorship - it's somewhere to actually get built. By opening the Makers Lab free on weekends, we want women builders, from students to founders, to have the room to test, fail and try again."

Key Highlights:

• Masters’ Union offers women free weekend access to its AI labs, technology, and faculty expertise to help turn ideas into products
• Participants can develop and test projects across robotics, smart devices, sustainability, consumer products, and early-stage startups
• The initiative is open to women entrepreneurs, founders, students, designers, and innovators, with no prior AI or formal technology background required

The weekend participants will get access to the Master's Union's facilities for developing and testing their ideas in the AI lab. The project is open to women who are engaged in product development, product concepts needing prototyping, fabrication, electronics, robotics, design, testing, or further development.

Projects include school and college innovation projects, consumer products, assistive and smart devices, drones, robotic applications, packaging innovations, sustainability solutions, retail technology, lifestyle products and startups prototypes in early stage development. Participants will also have access to guidance from Masters' Union faculty and subject matter experts, which will provide support beyond the self-directed online learning.

Women entrepreneurs, startup founders, school and college students, designers and independent innovators are all welcome on the platform. There is no prior background in AI or formal technology education required, and the emphasis is on developing, experimenting, and fine-tuning their concepts.

As India works towards becoming a global leader in AI, expanding access to technology and resources will be key to developing the talent needed to drive this growth. As women make up a substantial portion of the potential talent pool in AI for India, efforts to minimize participation obstacles may foster an inclusive and effective innovation ecosystem.
