Promoting innovations to reduce the use of plastics, the Marico Innovation Foundation (MIF) founded by Harsh Mariwala is facilitating collaborations between innovators and Fast-Moving Goods (FMCG) companies like Nestle and McDonald’s, focusing on plastic waste management, food and agritech, and clean technology for sustainability.
