Inqui-Lab Foundation is an educational non-profit organisation based out of India, that exists to nurture the next generation as problem solvers. Th Read morerough our interventions we enable children and youth to come up with ideas for problems around them and support them in acting on their ideas. Inqui-lab is supported by national and international fellowships and incubators such as InnovatED, NSRCEL (IIM-Bangalore) and UNLEASH+ and we currently run programs in collaboration with the Social Welfare and Tribal Welfare departments, Government of Telangana.
