Our

Process

Empowering research and investment to shape tomorrow’s medicine

Phase one

Discovery
and Assessment

The journey begins with proactive search for promising medical research projects. Our team conducts a thorough assessment, evaluating each project’s innovation, potential impact, and feasibility.

This involves rigorous scientific review, potential market analysis, and preliminary discussions with research teams to understand their vision, capabilities, and needs.

Phase two

Due Diligence and
Selection

Following initial assessments, selected projects undergo a comprehensive due diligence process. This step digs deeper into the project's technical details, team qualifications, legal considerations, and financial requirements. It ensures that only the most viable and impactful projects are chosen for funding, aligning with Stem's mission to accelerate the development of transformative healthcare solutions.

Phase three

Matching with Investors

Once a project passes our stringent evaluation process, Stem matches it with suitable investors from our network. This matchmaking is based on the project's specific needs and the investor's interest areas and investment philosophy.

Our aim is to create synergistic partnerships that provide not just financial support but also strategic value to propel the research forward.

IAIRO is a NOT FOR PROFIT SECTION 8 Organisation

IAIRO spans the full spectrum of AI innovation maturity, guided by one principle: building national capability through AI. Primary goals are: (a) create the highest talent needed for achieving sovereign AI (atmanirbhr) for India’s Strategic Autonomy, and (b) create a comprehensive ecosystem of AI researchers, engineers, innovators, investors,entrepreneurs-in-residence,  and resources to achieve rapid prototyping to global products, and advance India towards a product nation. Led by Prof. Amit Sheth, IAIRO’s founding members represent substantial reverse brain drain (e.g., faculty from top US universities with h-index 65-124; tech leaders/engineering professionals from top tech companies such as Apple, Google, and IBM Research, and successful entrepreneurs who have founded and grown many private and public companies. IAIRO’s high-profile board includes Ajai Chawdhary (Padma Bhushan, co-founder HCL, chairman - NQM) and Sharad Sharma (iSpirit Foundation/ProductNation, National Startup Advisory Council). IAIRO’s PPP model, sponsored by IndiaAI mission/MeitY, Gujarat DST, and the Indian Pharma Association (inaugural members, to be expanded substantially). IAIRO’s initial foundational AI themes include Enterprise AI and Embodied AI. It's applied and translational AI domains include pharmaceuticals, health, environment and sustainability, and education.
