Reigniting India’s Legacy of Knowledge, Discovery, and Innovation


India Rising Foundation was born from a simple yet powerful belief that India’s next revolution will be powered by ideas. For millennia, India has been the cradle of knowledge, home to visionaries who shaped mathematics, medicine, astronomy, architecture, and philosophy. But while our past glows with genius, our present faces a challenge: how to translate research into real-world impact that uplifts society, drives the economy, and inspires the world.

India Rising Foundation is the bridge between ancient wisdom and modern innovation. We are building a national platform that transforms research, ideas, and indigenous knowledge into market-ready, scalable innovations. Founded by visionaries Sunil Jose, Laxminarayan Kakade, and Shiv Talari, India Rising is not just an organisation — it’s a movement to make India the Research & Innovation Capital of the World.
