Equal Innovation: Propelling Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Silicon India names Equal Innovation "Most Promising Company Founded or Managed By Indians in U.S. 2023"
“Its an honor to be named to Silicon India’s prestigious list of promising companies founded by an Indian”, said Nish Acharya, CEO of Equal Innovation. “It’s urgent that we identify innovations that improve the human condition or preserve our planet and connect these entrepreneurs to the partners they need to achieve impact.”
In addition to the identification and scouting of relevant innovations, startups and entrepreneurs, Equal Innovation is involved in important global events where startups can directly influence policy makers, including the G20, COP28, UNGA and the World Bank meetings. In September 2023, Equal Innovation hosted Impact-G20X in Delhi during the G-20 Summit featuring President Biden and Prime Minister Modi, among others. Over the course of 2 days, 40 startups, representing 15 nations presented their innovative technologies and products in sectors aligned to several of the key topics on the official agenda at the G20, such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, climate change, sustainable business and supply chains, and global health preparedness.

As a speaker at IMPACT G20x, an event organized by Equal Innovation in partnership with Atal Innovation Mission.
At IMPACT G20x, we're coming together to address some of the world's most pressing challenges, focusing on themes like Climate, Transformative Technologies, Green Supply Chain, and Global Health Preparedness. This commitment is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation on a global scale.
As I reflect on my recent visit to the Impact-G20X summit, I find myself overwhelmed with a profound sense of honor and inspiration. This prestigious platform brought together visionaries, innovators, and thought leaders from across the globe, and I had the privilege to stand among them. The summit was not just an event; it was an immersive experience that left an indelible mark on my perspective.

Startup Analysis
A key part of the platform is a standards-based rating system for the innovators and startups. There is often significant difference between an academic researcher with a prototype in her lab and the startup that has raised funds and serves paying customers. Today, there is no way for investors, corporations or large hospitals to know which technology or startup is best suited for their level of investment or resources.
