For the world to move ahead, we need new ideas, new thinking, and innovation. Our progress as human beings is solely due to the ideas and breakthrough innovations that have changed the course of history. Ideas driven by empathy and resolve to improve the lives of the underprivileged make social innovation special. Impact-driven innovations play a crucial role in unlocking viable opportunities, where for-profit entrepreneurs are taking the forefront in alleviating some of the world’s issues. The world has changed in the past few years, thus proving the adage innovate or perish, revealing just how important innovation will be as we move forward.

About the Innovation for India Awards:
Launched in 2006, the biennial Innovation for India Awards is the first Indian platform to recognize and celebrate the pioneering work of game-changing Indian innovations. The platform has become the benchmark for recognition in the country, with the most prolific leaders and thinkers coming together to handpick and recognize the undiscovered innovations of India.
The process of identifying these game-changing innovations is one-of-a-kind and extremely robust.

The grand finale of the Awards is a carefully curated experience with an audience of over 1000 distinguished people. The evening leaves the audience inspired and mesmerized with extraordinary stories of innovation, perseverance, and change.
