A Nation of Problem-Solvers
Our purpose is to make innovation accessible across geographies, disciplines and experience levels.
Vision
To make India a nation of innovators.
Promising ideas from people of every background and region should be able to access the technology, knowledge, resources and connections needed to pursue real-world impact.
Mission
To connect students, first-time founders and innovators with capable technology companies, investors, appropriate financing providers, mentors, sector experts and business service organizations; help them validate, build and develop meaningful solutions; and strengthen India’s capacity to create original products, companies and employment.

Why India
Good ideas are everywhere. Access is not. A student in a small town, a first-time founder without a network, a maker with a sketch and no engineers: each can see a problem clearly and still have no path to a solution.
IFB exists to build that path: a place where technology capability, expertise and growth partners are brought together with founders, on terms the founder controls.
Governance and trust
- Every partner is reviewed before a profile is published, using a documented checklist and decision record.
- Sensitive approvals use a maker-checker process.
- Ideas are private by default. Partners see only what a founder authorizes, and the founder can revoke it.
- Privileged actions, consent changes and file access are logged in tamper-evident audit records.
- Concerns can be reported at any time. See Report a Concern.
Corporate attribution, named partners and launch cohort will be published here once confirmed. We do not claim partners, outcomes or endorsements we cannot evidence.
