At BBF, our Contract Research & Development (R&D) services are designed to support organizations, startups, and government bodies in translating ideas into validated, market-ready solutions.

We welcome Collaborations with Industries/ Organizations, Sponsored Research for Long Term, Consultancy Project of Short Term & Turn Key Projects.

We operate as an end-to-end innovation partner—combining scientific depth, engineering capability, and design-driven methodologies to deliver high-impact results.

Our Approach

1. Problem Discovery & Technical Scoping

We begin by working closely with the client to understand the challenge, define clear technical requirements, and identify feasibility constraints. Through structured design thinking and domain-expert consultations, we convert broad objectives into precise R&D problems.

2. Applied Research & Technology Development

BBF carries out rigorous research supported by advanced labs, modelling tools, and domain specialists. Our team evaluates existing literature, prototypes experimental hypotheses, and designs core technology components aligned with the client’s goals.

3. Prototyping, Development & Validation

From early-stage proof-of-concepts to functional prototypes, we deliver iterative builds with transparent testing cycles. Our validation frameworks ensure that every solution is reliable, scalable, and ready for further productization or technology transfer.

4. Documentation, IP Contribution & Technology Transfer

We provide comprehensive technical documentation, test reports, and development records. Where applicable, we support IP filings and facilitate smooth handover of the technology to the client’s engineering or manufacturing teams.

Access to BITS Pilani Ecosystem

One of BBF’s strongest advantages is our deep integration with the BITS Pilani ecosystem. Through this partnership, clients engaging in Contract R&D gain access to:

• Multidisciplinary faculty experts across engineering, sciences, and applied research

• State-of-the-art laboratories, prototyping facilities, and testing infrastructure

• Research scholars and student teams for specialised technical exploration

• Collaborative programmes for long-term or high-complexity R&D efforts

This extended capability allows BBF to execute projects that require higher technical rigour, advanced experimentation, and academic-industry collaboration—ensuring clients receive research quality at par with global standards.

Engagement Model

BBF’s Contract R&D services operate with flexible engagement structures:

• Fixed-scope research assignments

• Milestone-based multi-phase R&D programmes

• Long-term research partnerships

• Sponsored research with BITS Pilani faculty involvement

Our model is designed to ensure clarity in deliverables, transparency in execution, and measurable value creation for every partner.
