Mamilla participated in the Women in Engineering Innovate accelerator program 2024 hosted by the Imperial Enterprise Lab. We were selected as one of 25 teams from over 200 applications. This 6-month accelerator program provided us with an opportunity to develop Mamilla as a business through business coaching, expert support, and peer mentoring.
Mamilla was awarded the DESIRE award for the Industrial Design Engineering module undertaken at the Dyson School of Design Engineering. This award recognises the project that has the most innovative and novel outcome within the cohort.
