The Grassroots Innovations Augmentation Network (GIAN) is an incubator of grassroots innovation and traditional knowledge. Based across West, North-East and North India, along with two cells in Southern India, GIAN was set up by the National Innovation Foundation (NIF). The NIF in turn was established with the help of the Department of Science and Technology of India, a donor to the infoDev program.

GIAN's activities are further supported by the Honey Bee Network and the Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions (SRISTI). SRISTI is a grantee of the infoDev Network of Global Business Incubators - you can find more infomation about SRISTI in their Directory profile.
