BACKING INDIA’S WOMEN INNOVATORS FOR GLOBAL IMPACT
WiN INDIA is a catalytic platform launched by the Health Innovation Exchange (HIEx) to identify, accelerate, and connect India’s most promising women entrepreneurs to global markets, strategic partners, and catalytic capital.
Built on HIEx’s global Women in Innovation work, WiN INDIA focuses on women-led enterprises working across health innovation, traditional medicine and AYUSH, climate resilience, clean technology, and AI-enabled wellness.
The platform has been created to help exceptional women innovators move beyond local success and access the networks, investment, visibility, and strategic support needed to scale their solutions globally.
WHY INDIA
India stands at a rare convergence of opportunity.
It is home to one of the world’s most dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems, deep scientific and traditional knowledge systems, world-leading digital public infrastructure, and a new generation of women founders building scalable solutions with global relevance.
India also sits at the centre of global conversations around traditional medicine and AYUSH, while its cities face urgent climate-health challenges linked to air quality, heat exposure, water resilience, and urban disease burden. At the same time, Indian innovators are developing practical solutions in health, climate, technology, wellness, and community resilience that can serve both national and global markets.
Yet despite their measurable impact, women-led ventures remain significantly underfunded and underserved. The challenge is not talent. It is access: access to capital, strategic networks, international markets, and global visibility.
WiN INDIA exists to bridge that gap.
WHat wIN INDIA AIMS TO ACHIEVE
WiN INDIA is designed to position Indian women innovators as part of the next generation of global impact leaders.

Acceleration and executive education

Cross-border ecosystem partnerships and visibility
Relevant sustainable funding pathways

WHat MAKES wIN INDIA DIFFERENT
WiN INDIA is not only about supporting individual entrepreneurs. It is about building a bridge between India’s women innovators and the global systems, markets, institutions, and partners that can help them scale.
Through HIEx’s network of UN agencies, governments, investors, corporate partners, and global convening platforms, WiN INDIA will connect Indian innovators to international ecosystems and help unlock new pathways for adoption, investment, and growth.
The initiative brings together innovation, investment, policy, and partnership to support solutions that can improve lives, strengthen communities, and contribute to global progress in health, climate resilience, and gender equity.
A LONG-TERM PLATFORM FOR WOMEN-LED INNOVATION
WiN INDIA is not an accelerator. It is a long-term platform designed to position India’s women entrepreneurs as global leaders in health innovation, traditional medicine, climate resilience, and impact-driven enterprise.
By connecting women-led solutions from India to the world, WiN INDIA aims to help build a future where innovation is more inclusive, investment is more intentional, and women entrepreneurs have the opportunity to lead at global scale.
