Infosys Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of Infosys, has launched the fourth edition of its Aarohan Social Innovation Awards, pledging INR 2 crore to support social entrepreneurs across India. The initiative seeks technology-driven solutions in education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability aimed at uplifting underprivileged communities at scale. Each winner may receive up to INR 50 lakh, with submissions open from April 24 to June 15, 2025.
Eligible participants include Indian citizens aged 18 and above who must submit fully functional prototypes or completed projects via video entries on the Aarohan Awards website. A panel of experts will evaluate entries based on problem relevance, innovation effectiveness, scalability, and founder commitment. Sumit Virmani, Trustee of Infosys Foundation, highlighted the Foundation’s mission to amplify human potential by backing impactful changemakers who address pressing social challenges.
The awards present a significant platform for the city’s emerging social startups. With Guwahati’s expanding entrepreneurial ecosystem and growing focus on social impact ventures, local innovators stand to benefit from national recognition and funding opportunities. This could accelerate the development of region-specific solutions in healthcare and education, boosting the city’s role as a social innovation hub in Northeast India.
