About:

amiiaThe Anjani Mashelkar Inclusive Innovation Award is an annual award of 100,000 given to the innovators who have prototypes or a commercialized product or service. The theme of this mini challenge is to address the problems faced by the most disadvantaged sections of society in India.

The awardees will preferably be those who believe not just in 'best practices', but in 'next practices'. Most importantly, it will value solutions that represent 'affordable excellence', breaking the myth that 'affordability' and 'excellence' cannot go together.

Criteria:

  • Only organizations or persons (of any age) of Indian origin are eligible to apply.
  • Prototypes or proof of concepts which have the potential to be successful innovations are eligible. Raw ideas will not be considered.
  • The prototypes, products, services or business models should be original and novel.
