Under a memorandum of understanding signed between the two, the institute will leverage a portion of Mphasis' CSR funds and invest and nurture social enterprises that are in line with the company's CSR focus areas such as education, employability and entrepreneurship.

IIIT-B will also provide focused mentoring services as well as logistics and business network support for the ventures it incubates under the programme. IIIT-B has so far incubated 12 ideas and is currently supporting six companies in the areas of education, healthcare and energy.
