Proto Alpha allows members access to the NIDHI Prayashala Lab, a prototyping lab facility aided by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, as well as the Mouser Innovation Lab at DERBI Foundation, which now houses a component bank and test equipment to support designers in design, prototyping and testing.

A one-day annual summit and launch on February 17, 2023, of Proto Alpha brought together industry experts, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, enthusiasts, and startups in an effort to kickstart and amplify collaborations, co-innovation and co-development of products.
