Who We Are

Enabling the Enablers

A national startup foundation born from the belief that India's most transformative innovations will come from its smallest towns — not just its metros.

Our Story

About Innoscale
Global Foundation

Innoscale Global Foundation was established with a singular national mandate: to democratise innovation across Bharat. We are a DPIIT-recognised startup incubator and innovation foundation headquartered in New Delhi, operating across 28 states.

We work at the intersection of governance and entrepreneurship — facilitating collaboration between startups, corporates, research institutions, and government bodies. Our programmes are designed for founders who are solving real problems at real scale.

Since our founding, we have incubated 120+ startups, deployed ₹48 Crore in capital, and created over 3,200 jobs — with a clear focus on tier-2 and tier-3 India where the impact is most needed.
