Collaborating with organizations to apply innovation as a key ingredient and catalyst for growth and scale-up.

Innovation Alchemy, is a collaboration-consulting firm based in Bangalore, India, applying innovation thinking to problems of business growth, scalable social impact and sustainable profitability. We engage across corporate organizations, civil society organizations and government agencies involved in scaling high-impact ideas and help facilitate accelerated growth of the projects & models. Innovation is a key ingredient of our approach.


Our work involves three core areas of strength: Consulting & Research Insights; Incubation & Acceleration; and Community Curation. These areas are interrelated in the context of our work and help us build insights and perspectives on an ongoing basis. These insights are accessible via consulting engagements and the acceleration of projects/ enterprises using an innovation process; and are also accessible via our collaborative Blogs and workshops.


Through our work on-ground with teams, leaders and organizations, we also aim to continuously build knowledge, tools and frameworks that evolve from real implementation and innovation action. The idea is to share these with the innovation ecosystem in a manner that they can be leveraged by anyone who wishes to 'apply innovation' to the challenges of growth and scale, especially in an emerging economy scenario like India. Alchemize™, the acceleration programme in development and Alchemix™, the active community of innovation practitioners are initiatives designed to specifically work towards these objectives.


Join the Alchemix community and the popular series of Alchemix™ Sessions every few weeks.
