Embrace Innovations

Embrace Innovations is an Indian social enterprise and healthcare technology company focused on developing low-cost, electricity-free infant warmers.

Founded in 2008 by graduate students from Stanford University, the company aims to reduce neonatal hypothermia and combat infant and maternal mortality in resource-constrained settings. Headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka, Embrace Innovations operates with a hybrid structure that combines a for-profit social enterprise with a non-profit arm. The company's core product is the portable Embrace Nest, designed for low-birth-weight and premature infants in hospitals with limited resources. They also offer Embrace Care, suitable for both homes and hospitals, and the Little Lotus, their first consumer product line. Embrace Innovations provides training programs for healthcare workers and mothers to ensure effective use of their warmers. With a mission to help one million infants annually by 2030, the company has already saved over one million babies and has deployed its products across 22 countries, making a significant impact in developing regions.
