Marico Innovation Foundation is a philanthropic institution committed to nurturing and catalysing India’s innovation landscape and ground breaking technologies that can create large-scale social, economic, and environmental impact for millions of people.
Our areas of focus are startups, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Our sectoral focus is on climate adaptability solutions, including plastic waste management, clean technology, and agriculture-technology.
Our pursuit of innovation predates the days of CSR mandates, before 'innovation' became a buzzword. Even today, our goal remains building ecosystems to create a future where true innovation—not jugaad—results in large-scale impact for millions of people.
