The origins of FSID go back to 1991 when SID (Society for Innovation and Development) was set up in close collaboration with IISc within its sylvan, historic campus. At inception, its mission was to use the incredible repository of knowledge, world class infrastructure and talent present within IISc to help business enterprises and thereby the economy and the nation at large.
Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID) was incorporated on 8th August 2020 as a Section 8 Company under the Companies Act, 2013. FSID is promoted by Indian Institute of Science and was incorporated to further this original mission. It has now grown to become a single window of access for all stakeholders to the deep science and deep tech knowledge within IISc. It provides a 360-degree set of offerings that facilitates the delivery of its objectives.
Prof. B. Gurumoorthy, the present Director of FSID, is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and also Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing at the Indian Institute of Science.
