The Marico Innovation Foundation (MIF) is set to host the 10th edition of Indian Innovation Icons on March 6, 2025, at the Jio World Convention Centre. Formerly known as the Innovation for India Awards, this rebranded event will honor seven groundbreaking innovations selected from over 1,000 entries across various sectors, including telecommunication and education.
The initiative has been pivotal in recognizing high-potential innovations for nearly two decades, contributing to social, environmental, and economic impacts. Winners will share their journeys through TED-style talks, offering insights into their visionary ideas. Harsh Mariwala, MIF Founder, emphasized the growth of India’s innovation ecosystem, while Amit Chandra, Honorary Chairperson, noted the program’s significant role in showcasing emerging innovators. This year’s awards will include extensive support for winners, including digital exposure and access to MIF’s no-equity accelerator program.
As India navigates rapid economic growth and sustainability challenges, the Indian Innovation Icons continues to redefine innovation recognition, fostering an environment where transformative ideas can thrive.
