Marico Innovation Foundation

Accelerator Mumbai, Maharashtra

In their own words

Born out of the entrepreneurial zeal of Harsh Mariwala, Marico Innovation Foundation (MIF) is a not for profit arm of the parent company Marico Limited. Harsh Mariwala himself has seen the discontinuous impact of innovation on his own business and hence wanted to help India become an innovation-nation. It was founded in 2003 at a time when ‘innovation’ was not the buzz word for corporates or the government. Innovation was often confused invention or ‘jugaad’. There was ample innovation happening in India but there was no entity supporting it to achieve scale. Over the past 16 years, MIF has grown to be a torch bearer of innovation and works with a two-fold aim: 1. To inspire India to innovate 2. To create a deep-rooted impact on those who are innovating
