Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) is launching the Social Incubation Programme 2026 as part of its efforts to promote social entrepreneurship in Kerala. The programme aims to identify, nurture, and scale high-impact social innovations through a decentralised, district-level approach, enabling early-stage innovators to build sustainable and scalable social enterprises.

To support on-ground implementation, KSUM has invited Expressions of Interest for the empanelment of Innovation Ambassadors. The empanelled ambassadors will play a key role in identifying social innovators, conducting outreach in communities, and facilitating ecosystem linkages, thereby strengthening last-mile support for social entrepreneurs across the state. The last date for submission of applications is 25 January 2026.
