A program designed to empower changemakers, the vivo Ignite Technology and Innovation Initiative, a CSR wing of vivo India, provides a platform for students from grade 8 to 12 across India to make a real impact and provide solutions to bring societal change.

From getting selected from a pool of innovative thinkers, to developing a prototype engineered to drive social change, to being mentored by the tech experts and being among the Top 5 at the Grand Finale – the vivo Ignite journey prepares our changemakers to challenge the ordinary. Innovation and Technology are the cornerstones for positive change in the lives of individuals, communities, and the world at large.

Launched in 2022, this initiative has been a frontrunner in nurturing the power of education by empowering the youth of India to bring out compelling solutions for real world problems. More than 22,000 students have engaged with the program so far. The winners of the initiative received INR 44 lakh worth of scholarships. With this initiative, vivo is ‘igniting’ the flames of innovation that will shape India’s future.

With vivo India eyeing for a third edition let’s hear the finalists from previous years talk about their Ignite journey.
