Welcome to Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID). We are setup with a mission to ensure that scientific knowledge that exists within IISc is harnessed to help the industry and society at large. Here we strive to create and translate some of the finest original scientific knowledge and technology into a practical and valuable form in the real world. We approach this large and compelling task through four symbiotic entities that come together to compose FSID. CORE that engages with large corporations in collaborative research. STEM that incubates startups that have deep science and societal impact. TIME² that works with midsized enterprises to put them on a disruptive growth path via innovation, and finally, SEED that supports rural entrepreneurship and targets the area of agricultural waste management.

AGNIT is a spin-off from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and has differentiated IP across the GaN materials, processes and devices developed over 15 years of R&D at IISc. Our founding team has >100 years of aggregate experience across the semiconductor value chain – from materials-to-processes-to-devices-to-systems.

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) was founded in 1909 as a result of the joint efforts of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the Government of India, and the Maharaja of Mysore. In 1886, Jamsetji Tata conceived of a university of science that would work for the benefit of India, and in 1898 created an endowment for establishing such an institution. The Government of India then took up the effort, and, in consultation with scientists in England and in India, decided to locate the Institute in Bengaluru, where the Maharaja of Mysore, Shri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, donated 372 acres of land. The Institute was formally vested in 1909, the foundation stone was laid in 1911, and the first batch of students started their studies in the same year. Over the last century, IISc has become the premier institute for advanced scientific and technological research and education in India. Beginning with 2 departments and 21 students in 1911, today IISc has 39 departments, units, or centres, 3500 students, and about 500 academic and scientific staff, supported by 600 administrative personnel. About 2200 students are in various PhD programs, almost 900 are enrolled for various Masters degrees, whereas about 400 are registered in the newly established, research oriented, four-year Bachelor of Science (Research) programme. In recent years, the Institute has vigorously promoted interdisciplinary research. New centres such as the CiSTUP, the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems and a new Centre for Brain Research (funded by a large private endowment) are expected to conduct translational research in their respective areas, in order to better connect with industry and society. With the recent construction of modern buildings, acquisition of new research facilities, and induction of a large number of new faculty members, the Institute can look forward to an era of high productivity, increasing impact, and rising prominence in the world.
