CSIDF is a grassroots incubator empowering science-led innovation through micro-funding, mentorship, and visibility to bridge India’s scientific talent with purposeful philanthropy and spark real-world impact
Catalyze the next wave of Indian scientific breakthroughs by giving researchers the visibility, mentorship, and capital they deserve
A crucial funding gap exists in the country, especially for pioneering early-stage and highly specialized pure research
Complex scientific jargon often deters potential funders making it difficult to convey the real-world impact of the scientific work
Identifying suitable philanthropic partners can be complex, time-consuming and often frustrating
Philanthropists in India often avoid science, deterred by a lack of accessible communication from researchers
We actively seek out and nurture high-impact research and technology projects from India's premier academic institutions and research bodies.
We translate complex science and technology ideas into clear, compelling narratives, making it accessible for philanthropic investment.
We mobilize funds with the help of philanthropists passionate about science and technology, ensuring capital goes directly where it can have the most impact.
