About IRMA ISEED Foundation

Launched in August 2016, IRMA ISEED Foundation is the incubation arm of the Institute of Rural Management Anand in Gujarat; the acronym stands for Incubator for Social Enterprises and Entrepreneurs for Development. With support from the Department of Science and Technology, it stands out as one of the few Indian incubators built squarely around rural and social enterprise, working with for-profit and not-for-profit ventures alike toward a more inclusive ecosystem.

The foundation builds a social-entrepreneurial community through partner networks, offering mentoring and introductions, joint research, entrepreneurship training, and capacity building. Its incubatees tend to work in rural livelihoods, sustainable farming, agricultural mechanisation, rural tourism, and community development, and IRMA's grounding in rural management and cooperatives hands them domain knowledge that broad, general-purpose incubators rarely carry; Grassroutes and Dhwani Rural Information Systems are among the ventures it has backed.

Social entrepreneurs and rural founders working on livelihoods, sustainable agriculture, food processing, rural tourism, and community development gain the most, as do not-for-profits seeking incubation and capacity building to scale their rural impact. It is online at irma.ac.in.
