SIIP is the Social Innovation Immersion program of SPARSH which intends to create a pool of "Social Innovators" who can identify needs and gaps within communities and then can help bridge the gaps either through an innovative product development or services.

Under the SIIP programme, BIRAC has identified a few centers nation-wide for implementation of the programme. Venture Center in Pune is one of those centers, who help provide a whole host of technical, business and implementation mentoring to the fellows.

Focus of this call is on the theme of "Ageing and Health" with a focus on Geriatrics and Assistive Medical Technologies.
