SSSRIF

Innovation with Purpose
Research with Responsibility
Sri Sathya Sai Research and Innovation Foundation (SSSRIF) is the official innovation and incubation foundation of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (SSSIHL).

From Idea to Impact Grounded in Values

We translate research into action. Whether it’s a lab innovation, a student prototype, or a grassroots idea, we provide the structure, support, and ecosystem to shape it into a venture that delivers real-world outcomes.

SSSRIF brings together students, researchers, faculty, alumni, and industry leaders who believe that innovation must be responsible, inclusive, and anchored in service.
