Social Impact through science and Innovation

One of the most powerful ways to create social impact is to enable innovative ideas and transform them into commercial realities. When these ideas are based on deep science the technologies developed provide lasting competitive advantage and when they address socially relevant themes,their longevity and their potential for impact go up exponentially as they straddle areas that are fundamental to humanity.

This is what we do at SID through our business divisions. We leverage our scientific expertise to handpick the most disruptive and impactful deep science-based ideas and hand hold them to fruition. We are a open incubation centre and accept applications from all as long as they are rooted in Deep Science and are commercially viable. We are domain agnostic and our startups are building commercial solutions in diverse domains such as AgriTech, Clean Tech, Aerospace, Communication, SpaceTech, Medical Devices, Nano Sciences, Life Sciences, Genomics and Molecular diagnostics etc.

Our origins at IISc have given us a mind that is deeply scientific and a heart that is truly philanthropic. All funding received by us is dealt with absolute transparency and in the spirit of partnership. We collaborate with each funder actively to ensure they are able to see the progress and engage beyond just funding.
