The Good Food Institute India

The Good Food Institute India (GFI India) is part of an international network of nonprofits with partners in Brazil, Israel, U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific, on a mission to build a healthy, sustainable, and just global food system. Since our establishment in 2017, GFI India serves as the central thought leader and convening body in the space of plant-based, cultivated, and fermentation-based meat, eggs, and dairy that are collectively known as the ‘alternative protein’ or the ‘smart protein’ sector. With unique insight across the scientific, policy, industry, and investment landscapes, we are using the power of food innovation and markets to accelerate the transition of the world’s food system toward alternative proteins. In building the sector from the ground up in India, we’re aiming to establish a model for its growth all across the developing world.

Capri Global Capital Limited

We live in a world where capital creates opportunity. In India, most of this capital rests in the hands of a few and rarely trickles down to those that really need it. If we do nothing, this gap between the haves and have nots would only get bigger. So we decided to do something about it. Our journey began in 2011, when we decided that it was time for a change. As an established Non-Banking Financial Company today, Capri Global aims to trigger change in the area of financial inclusion.

Network of Indian Cultural Enterprises (NICEorg)

NICEorg is Building Brand India through its Cultural and Creative Economy

The cultural and creative economy of a country leverages the commercial potential of indigenous culture, heritage and knowledge transformed into a product, service or experience. The export of cultural and creative goods or services at the global level significantly enhances a country’s brand value, and, in turn, its soft power.

India is the seventh-largest exporter of cultural and creative goods across the world, yet the same unfortunate story of not having any meaningful representation on the world stage is repeated in every aspect of India’s cultural assets: from fashion and accessories, home decor and furnishings to food and beverages and even tourism.
