“What I like most about Watson is that it is an incredible platform that provides a variety of services that can solve real world problems. These services can be used as and when required and are always accessible,” said Krishnamohan Manmohan, a student at MIT Pune.

“The Watson documentation was very helpful and provided a smooth learning curve,” said Astitva Shah, another student at MIT Pune.

The grant from IBM led to the purchase of Chintu, the cognitive assistant, powered by IBM Watson.
