Marico Innovation Foundation throws open a grand challenge

With this dynamic format, Marico Innovation Foundation and A.T.E Chandra Foundation & Mr. Harsh Mariwala in his personal capacity have come together to offer a total grant value of Rs. 2.5 crores. The program calls out MedTech entrepreneurs, corporates and innovators from across the nation to meaningfully contribute towards mitigating the risk of the outbreak.

The purpose of the grand challenge is to combat short-supply of ventilators, personal protective equipment and other respiratory solutions that can aid the medical fraternity. They are looking for existing innovative solutions that can be modified and scaled immediately. As the pandemic progresses, the grand challenge may expand to other items of critical need in consultation with medical experts.

The last date for the entries in the challenge is 10th April’20.
