What We Do

Solving grand challenges
through inclusive innovation

Inequality is still one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. While it might take decades to bridge the income inequality for all Indians, we could achieve ‘access equality’ by ensuring Indians get access to basic necessities and are ‘included’. ‘Inclusive Innovation’ is the solution to India’s challenges.

Anjani Mashelkar Foundation aims to solve India’s grand challenges and save lives through disruptive, high-technology and ultra-affordable innovations. The foundation largely focuses on innovations in the healthcare sector owing to the quantum of challenges and potential impact.
