While all innovations that bring a dramatic disruption – convenience, cost, or service, are important, when they are created and / or also used to bring benefit to some of the most disadvantaged and marginal of our people, their impact is even bigger.

In a country like ours, where standard first-world innovations fail to scale for lack of infrastructure, less spending power, non-availability of the trained manpower, there is a massive need to invest in, and to develop, our own Innovation infrastructure that fosters product and services that fulfil unmet social and developmental needs on one hand, and foster job-creation and entrepreneurship on the other hand.
