Irma Iseed Foundation

Incubator for Social Enterprises and Entrepreneurs for Development (ISEED) at IRMA, started in August 2016, supports and nurtures early-stage rural, social and collective enterprises. ISEED encourages individuals and institutions to experiment with empathy helping them innovate new products, services and institutions that impact livelihoods. We incubate social, grassroots and collective enterprises. We work with our Social Enterprise Partners (SEP) and Ecosystem Partners (EP) to co-create a dynamic and vibrant social entrepreneurial ecosystem. Supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), ISEED is one of the few germinators and incubators that see the need for India’s start-up ecosystem to be pro-actively inclusive by working with both for-profit and not-for-profit enterprises. ISEED mentors and build capacities for rural and social entrepreneurs through various programmes.
