Incubating innovation and talent

Overview

The Tata Trusts have set up several pioneering institutions that are exceptional centres of learning, research and intellectual capital beginning with their flagship institution, the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru in 1911. A crucial component of the nation-building activities of the Trusts, these centres of excellence have served as repositories of data and evidence, incubators of innovation and talent, and laboratories of cutting-edge research, and made India a power to reckon with in various fields, particularly medicine, science and education.

One is that it’s like the smell of mud when it’s about to rain. Wherever there is change in rural India there is the smell of Tata Trusts. It’s not visible, it’s not loved, you can miss it if you can’t put a name to it. But that’s Tata Trust at it’s essence. Very quiet, invisible but present when there is change. — Rohit Menezes, Partner - Bridgespan
