The initiative aims to transform promising solutions into scalable, market-ready enterprises by bridging the gap between innovators and key stakeholders including investors, corporates, and grantmakers.
InnoWin Day was unveiled today in Mumbai as a curated event spotlighting 24 high-potential innovators from MIF’s Indian Innovation Icons 2025 and Scale-Up Accelerator programmes. These startups are tackling some of India’s most urgent challenges-from climate resilience and agricultural transformation to water scarcity and plastic waste management.
Their innovations include turning stubble into sustainable furniture, converting industrial emissions into valuable chemicals, developing rare-earth-free motor systems, and extracting moisture from the air.
Participants included renowned innovation champions such as AssisTech Foundation, Chara Technologies, Indra Water, PARI, and Rocket Learning, along with startups like Brisil, Caliche, GreenPod Labs, Ishitva Robotic Systems, PadCare, Ricron Panels, Uravu, and Urban Kisaan.
The event served as a vibrant networking platform, fostering collaborations, pilot opportunities, and future investment prospects. Leading corporates and investors present at the event included Vedanta, Colgate-Palmolive, Reliance Industries, ITC, JSW Ventures, and the India Climate Collaborative, among others—signifying growing support for scaling early-stage green innovations.
The day began with a keynote address by Harsh Mariwala, Chairman, Marico Limited & Founder of Marico Innovation Foundation, who emphasized the importance of ecosystem collaboration. “Startups need strong partnerships. Capital, mentorship, and market access are essential to scaling innovation. InnoWin Day is our initiative to build these bridges,” he stated.
A key highlight of the event was the “Scaling Strategies” panel discussion, featuring Vaibhav Tidke, CEO of S4S Technologies, and Arindam Paul, Chief Business Officer at Atomberg Technologies. They shared their growth journeys—solar-powered food processing and BLDC motors—demonstrating how strategic support can elevate niche innovations into industry leaders.
Tidke noted the significant impact of MIF’s intervention, saying, “With MIF’s guidance, our revenue grew from ₹60 lakh in 2019 to ₹100 crore by 2023.” Arindam Paul reflected on Atomberg’s journey through the MIF Scale-Up programme: “The strategic advice to focus deeply on online leadership before scaling offline was a game-changer.”
Suranjana Ghosh, Head of Marico Innovation Foundation, summed up the event’s intent: “InnoWin Day is designed to ensure our innovators get access to capital, customers, and strategic dialogue. These game-changing ideas need the strength of a supportive ecosystem to truly scale.”
