Grassroots Innovation

India solves problems at the grassroots every day — in irrigation, post-harvest handling, transport, tools, water and energy. Those solutions are rarely documented and almost never protected.

What we do

  • Identify and document grassroots innovations in the field.
  • Assess novelty and protectability without cost to the innovator.
  • Recognise innovators publicly and connect them to institutions.
  • Support prior-art searches and filings where protection is viable.

The FIRSTIP letter
