Mr. Swapnil Mali

General Manager

My life’s purpose revolves around achieving a holistic balance that fosters personal growth and contributing positively to society. I have a passion for education, technology, and entrepreneurship.

I have completed an M.Tech and am pursuing a Ph.D. in Electronics and Telecommunication from COEP Tech University. I have over a decade of experience as an Assistant Professor at COEP Tech University Pune. I have taught and mentored students in various domains such as Audio Processing, Stochastics Signal Processing, IoT, and AI-ML.

I have extended my role beyond teaching, encompassing mentoring student startups, managing administrative responsibilities, conducting research, facilitating industry and academic collaborations, providing consultancy for some government and industry projects, and volunteering in community service initiatives. I have played a pivotal role in student startup initiatives, coordinating Innovation and Entrepreneurship activities under IIC at COEP Tech.

I bring a unique combination of academic insights, administrative experience, and knowledge of the student startup ecosystem to my new role as Assistant General Manager at COEP’s Bhau Institute of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership. In this position, I oversee the incubation process, organize training programs, and offer support to startups.

I am handling responsibilities of collaboration with industry experts, corporate partners, NGOs, and government bodies to drive impactful collaborations. I am also actively involved in the Ignited Innovator of India (i2i) initiative for the implementation of techno-social projects for the benefit of society, collaborating with many academic institutes all across Maharashtra.

I am coordinating the Social Innovation initiative at COEP’s Bhau Institute, focusing on Social Enterprise Development to further the Institute’s mission of fostering positive societal change.
