A Global Platform for Young Changemakers

First launched in the US in 2010, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is now operational in 68 countries and has engaged more than 3 million young people.

Samsung is strengthening its enterprise business in India by advancing AI-powered, connected ecosystem solutions designed to help organisations reimagine operations through intelligent, integrated and secure technologies.

Building on its strong presence across consumer electronics and displays, Samsung is extending its capabilities beyond devices to deliver end-to-end solutions that enable businesses to transition towards adaptive, data-driven environments.

Samsung’s Business Experience Studios (BES) in Gurugram and Mumbai serve as live demonstration platforms, bringing together deep capabilities across devices, displays, mobility, AI platforms and Knox security. Moving beyond product-led conversations, BES enables enterprises to experience how connected ecosystems can drive efficiency, personalisation and scalability in real-world settings.

“At Samsung, we believe the future of enterprise lies in AI-powered, connected ecosystems that move beyond standalone devices to intelligent, adaptive environments. Our strength as a technology company uniquely positions us to bring together hardware, software, platforms and security into a seamless, integrated framework. This enables businesses to accelerate digital transformation, unlock operational agility and deliver more personalised, data-driven experiences at scale,” said Puneet Sethi, Head, Enterprise Business, Samsung India.

At BES, Samsung showcases real-world use cases across key sectors including retail, banking and financial services (BFSI), healthcare, education and hospitality, demonstrating how AI-led, connected ecosystems address industry-specific challenges—from immersive customer engagement in retail to secure interactions in BFSI, connected care and digital learning environments.

As it marks 30 years in India, Samsung’s strength lies in delivering end-to-end integrated ecosystems by combining hardware, software, platforms and security into a cohesive, interoperable and scalable framework. The company is working with a broad spectrum of enterprises across private and public sector projects aligned with India’s digital transformation, while continuing to deepen engagement across industry verticals.

With India emerging as a key market for innovation and digital adoption, Samsung remains committed to driving long-term growth across both consumer and enterprise segments through advanced technology, local innovation and strong ecosystem partnerships.

Rooted in Samsung’s Open Innovation vision, the SMA programme aims to bridge the gap between deep-tech startups and Samsung’s global mobile ecosystem, enabling breakthrough innovations across millions of devices worldwide.

In its latest edition, SMA invites startups from India to collaborate with Samsung in shaping the future of mobile experiences. Since its inception, Samsung’s Open Innovation initiative has focused on combining external innovation with in-house R&D to deliver differentiated consumer experiences. With dedicated charters spanning integrated partnerships, strategic investments, and startup incubation, SMA plays a critical role in identifying and nurturing high-potential startups.

Launched in India in 2023, SMA introduced a dedicated grant funding model of up to $50,000 with no equity for Proof-of-Concept (PoC) development, enabling startups to validate and scale their innovations within Samsung’s ecosystem. Under this model, Samsung does not take any equity or ownership in the startups for ideas developed through the programme.

“SMA reflects our deep commitment to open innovation, bringing together startup ingenuity and Samsung’s global R&D strength to co-create the future of mobile experiences. We aim to build long-term partnerships that not only accelerate innovation but also translate bold ideas into impactful solutions at global scale,” said Mohan Rao Goli, Managing Director and CVP, Samsung R&D Institute India, Bangalore.

“Through SMA, we focus on partnering with startups that demonstrate strong cultural and technological synergy. We aim to integrate the best of external innovation with Samsung’s R&D expertise to shape the future of mobile experiences,” said Kyungyun Roo, Managing Director, Samsung R&D Institute India, Noida

Focus Areas for 2026

SMA continues to adopt a broad and inclusive innovation lens, encouraging startups to apply across a wide range of categories, including AI, XR, Security, Health, Camera, Audio, wearables, and other Samsung mobile-related domains.

Every year, Samsung opens its doors to some of the brightest young minds in the country through Samsung IGNITE, a summer internship programme designed to nurture talent, inspire innovation, and shape future leaders.

This year’s cohort brings together students from 18 of India’s most prestigious institutions, representing diverse disciplines, perspectives, and aspirations — all united by a shared passion to create meaningful impact through technology.

The latest batch of IGNITE interns comes from institutions including NMIMS, IIFT Delhi, SIBM Pune, SP Jain, SCMHRD, IIM Trichy, IIM Indore, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Mumbai, MDI Gurgaon, XLRI, FMS, IIM Lucknow, IIM Bangalore, JBIMS, IIT Delhi DoMS, and IIM Calcutta.

From day one, the experience has been designed to help interns not only understand Samsung’s business but also feel part of a larger purpose — building technology that simplifies lives and empowers communities.

For many interns, the first interaction with Samsung’s innovation ecosystem has been truly memorable.

“Samsung IGNITE to me feels like a dream. I was looking forward to seeing the office — and now that I am here, it feels surreal. The Business Experience tour was amazing and I was awestruck by the incredible products Samsung has built. This has made me even more excited to be part of this community and contribute meaningfully,” said Rukaiya Bano from IIM Mumbai.

Experiencing innovation up close has left many inspired by the scale of Samsung’s vision and the possibilities that lie ahead.

“Three has always been my lucky number, so joining Samsung IGNITE felt like fate at play. Experiencing the scale and innovation of one of the world’s leading electronics companies, especially at the Business Experience Store, has been incredibly fascinating. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity and excited for all that lies ahead,” said Monica Makkuva from IIM Ahmedabad.

The carefully curated onboarding journey introduces interns to Samsung’s culture, values, and diverse business verticals, ensuring that learning begins from the very first day.

“The onboarding experience was smooth and thoughtfully designed, helping us understand different business verticals and Samsung’s values. I am excited to contribute to Samsung’s mission of providing ease, care and security to consumers through technology,” said Vasu Goyal from XLRI.

Across locations, the warmth of Samsung’s people has played a key role in helping interns feel welcomed and empowered.

“The people team members I met were extremely welcoming, and all necessary facilities were provided quickly. The project I have been assigned relates closely to real business scenarios, and I am excited to learn deeply and contribute meaningfully,” said Ganapathy Raman Sriram from IIM Trichy.

For many, the opportunity to work on meaningful projects early on has helped build confidence and a sense of belonging.

“The support and trust shown by everyone has made me feel comfortable, confident and valued. With meaningful projects assigned early on, I can already see strong learning and growth opportunities ahead,” said Dhruv Rawat from IIM Mumbai.

At its core, Samsung IGNITE is more than an internship programme — it is a platform for curiosity, collaboration and real-world problem solving. By bringing together students from leading management and technology institutes, Samsung continues to invest in building a strong talent pipeline for the future.

“At Samsung, we believe innovation begins with people. Through IGNITE, we aim to create an environment where young talent can explore ideas, challenge perspectives, and work on real business problems that create meaningful impact. The energy, curiosity and fresh thinking that these interns bring inspires all of us, and we are proud to be part of their growth journey.”

As these young professionals begin their journey with Samsung, they carry with them not just projects and learning experiences, but also the confidence that their ideas can shape the future of technology,” Rishabh Nagpal, Head of People Team, Samsung India.

Through programmes like IGNITE, Samsung continues to reaffirm its commitment to nurturing future leaders who will create solutions that bring ease, care and security to consumers around the world.

While travelling in an autorickshaw on the way to the hospital, her phone slipped from the seat and fell under the vehicle when it hit a ditch. The device was still functioning, but the display had been damaged — making it difficult to access essential documents and digital payments she needed for her hospital visit.

With little time to spare before her 10 AM consultation, she arrived at the nearby Samsung service centre hoping for a quick solution.

Anooja explained the urgency of the situation — her medical appointment was just minutes away, and her phone held important health records and access to payment apps.

After carefully examining the device, the service team confirmed that the display needed replacement. While repairs usually take some time, the team reassured her that they would do their best to help her continue her day without added stress.

Understanding the situation, the customer care officer suggested that she proceed to the hospital without worry, while the team worked on repairing the device.

To ensure she remained connected and comfortable during her visit, a temporary handset was arranged so she could stay reachable and access essential services.

Relieved, she left for her appointment, reassured that her device was in safe hands.

Back at the service centre, the engineer immediately began working on the phone. The display was replaced, and all key functions — including touch responsiveness, camera, network connectivity, fingerprint recognition and battery performance — were thoroughly tested to ensure everything was working perfectly.

Within 57 minutes, the device was ready.

As she completed her consultation, she received a call informing her that the phone had been repaired — just in time for her return.

Switching on the device, she found everything working smoothly again.

“You have saved my time,” she said. “This is truly satisfying service. Thank you for going beyond your duty.”

Before she left, the team presented her with a small potted plant — a simple gesture symbolising care and new beginnings.

Moved by the thoughtful experience, Anooja later shared her feedback.

“I am really impressed with the service centre. The staff behaviour and the ambience were very good. I had accidentally dropped my phone and felt choked up and confused. However, the service team treated me very well. Their support and professionalism were excellent. They even gave me a lovely gift, which made the experience even more special,” said Anooja.

A month since then, Anooja is a happy mother of a newborn, marking a beautiful chapter in her life.

Sometimes, meaningful experiences are shaped by small moments of understanding — a reassuring conversation, a timely solution, or a gesture that brings comfort when it is needed most.

Because in the end, care is not always about grand actions — often, it is about being present at the right moment.

Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today announced that 5,000 students in Tamil Nadu have been trained and certified under its flagship Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) programme, reinforcing its commitment to building a future-ready workforce and supporting the state’s growing electronics and innovation ecosystem.

SIC equips students with industry-relevant, future-tech skills across high-demand domains — Artificial Intelligence (2,200), Coding and Programming (1,700), Big Data (600) and Internet of Things (500) — enabling them to transition more effectively from education to employment. In addition, it focuses on soft skills to boost employability, combining technical training with modules on problem-solving, communication and workplace readiness.

Tamil Nadu accounts for nearly one-fourth of the 20,000 youth trained across India under the programme, underlining the state’s importance as a key hub for technology, manufacturing and skilled talent development. Notably, 71% of the participants in Tamil Nadu are women, reflecting strong progress in expanding access to technology education and enabling more women to participate in the digital economy.

Training and certification were conducted in collaboration with leading institutions across the state, including University of Madras, Anna University, Queen Mary’s College (Chennai), Mohamed Sathak AJ College of Engineering (Chennai), and KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology (Coimbatore).

“India’s growth story is being shaped by its young, skilled workforce, with Tamil Nadu playing a leading role in this transformation. As technology reshapes industries, the need for a future-ready workforce is more critical than ever. Building digital skills at scale, while ensuring inclusion, will be key to sustaining India’s growth momentum. As Samsung completes 30 years in India, we are enabling youth to develop capabilities aligned with the evolving needs of the global economy through Samsung Innovation Campus,” said Shubham Mukherjee, Head of CSR and Corporate Communications, Samsung Southwest Asia.

The programme continues to expand its reach, training and certifying 20,000 youth across the country. Nationally, SIC has witnessed around 48% women participation, reflecting Samsung’s commitment to building an inclusive and equitable technology ecosystem. The programme is implemented in collaboration with ESSCI and the TSSC through accredited training partners.

SIC, together with initiatives such as Samsung Solve for Tomorrow and Samsung DOST, is helping strengthen India’s digital skilling ecosystem—empowering young innovators to learn, build, and shape the future through technology. Marking 30 years in India, Samsung continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing education and digital inclusion.

Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, has certified 1,000 students in Maharashtra under its flagship CSR programme, Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC), marking a significant step in strengthening the state’s digital skilling ecosystem and advancing the Government’s national skilling agenda.

The milestone also represents the first large-scale certification initiative of Samsung innovation Campus in the state, with students trained in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Coding & Programming two critical pillars of the digital economy. A total of 127 students from Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), 373 students from Pimpri Chinchwad University, 250 students from D. Y. Patil University’s Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology and 250 students from Anjuman-I-islam’s Kalsekar Technical Campus successfully completed the programme, gaining hands-on, industry-aligned skills to solve real-world challenges.

Building on this technical foundation, the programme integrates soft skills training and career readiness modules, ensuring that students are not only job-ready but future-ready. This holistic approach reflects Samsung’s focus on bridging the gap between academic learning and industry expectations. Marking 30 years in India, Samsung continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing education and digital inclusion.

“India’s digital growth story will ultimately be shaped by the quality of its talent pipeline. As technologies like Al move from the periphery to the core of industries, skilling must evolve from basic training to building real world capability. At Samsung, we see programmes like Innovation Campus not just as education initiatives but as platforms to bridge this gap-combining deep tech learning with employability and problem-solving skills. This milestone in Maharashtra reflects how industry and academia can come together to create a future-ready workforce that is both globally competitive and locally relevant,” said Shubham Mukherjee, Head, CSR & Corporate Communications, Samsung Southwest Asia.

Launched in India in 2022, Samsung Innovation Campus is designed to democratise access to future-tech education by combining classroom learning with mentorship and project-based application. As the programme expands its footprint, it continues to empower young people across regions with the tools and confidence to participate in and shape-India’s digital growth story.

Aligned with this vision, Samsung Innovation Campus is scaling rapidly across India, having achieved the target of training 20,000 youth in 2025. The flagship CSR programme has also recorded 48% women participation nationally, underscoring Samsung’s commitment to building an inclusive and equitable technology ecosystem.

Implemented in collaboration with the Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC), the initiative is part of Samsung’s broader effort to strengthen India’s skilling landscape.

Alongside programmes such as Samsung Solve for Tomorrow and Samsung DOST, it continues to nurture a new generation of innovators-equipped not just with technical skills but with the mindset to learn, build, and lead in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world.

Bright smiles, colourful drawings and an atmosphere filled with excitement marked a truly heartwarming day as over 80 children from the Nanum Community Learning Centre (CLC) visited the Samsung Head Office for their Graduation Ceremony. Celebrating the spirit of the International Day of Happiness, the event reflected the joy of learning and the promise of brighter futures with children from underserved communities, who are attending school for the very first time.

The day was filled with curiosity, laughter and a sense of pride as the young graduates stepped into a new phase of their educational journey.

When Happiness Takes Shape Through Creativity

To celebrate the theme of happiness, the children prepared beautiful drawings capturing what brings them joy — family, school, friends, nature and dreams for the future. Each drawing was a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the support they have received.

The children presented these handmade cards to the leading donors of the Nanum Kiosk as a thank-you gesture. Their creativity reflected warmth, sincerity and appreciation, turning simple drawings into meaningful symbols of connection.

School-Ready for the Journey Ahead

Supporting their continued education, the children received thoughtfully prepared school-ready kits from the leading donors of the Nanum Kiosk. The kits included school bags, stationery, pencil boxes and water bottles — essential tools that will accompany them as they continue to learn, grow and explore new possibilities.

Holding their new school bags with excitement, the children radiated pride and confidence. These kits represent more than supplies; they reflect encouragement, belief and a shared commitment to their futures.

Words that Inspire Confidence and Dreams

Samsung leaders shared heartfelt words of encouragement, motivating the children to continue learning with curiosity and confidence.

“I am very happy to meet all of you. You all must study well, but also dream big. We are here to support you,” said President & CEO, JB Park while speaking to students in Hindi.

His message encouraged the children to pursue education while continuing to dream big, reassuring them that they are supported at every step.

A Celebration of Hope and Possibility

The visit left the children inspired and energised, giving them a glimpse into a world of opportunities that education can help unlock. Their excitement was evident as they explored the space, interacted with teams and celebrated together.

The Nanum Graduation Ceremony beautifully captured the essence of happiness — not just as a feeling, but as an opportunity to learn, dream and move forward with confidence. Through initiatives like Nanum, Samsung continues to nurture young aspirations, empowering children to believe in their potential and take confident steps towards their future.

Because when children are supported, encouraged and celebrated, happiness becomes a shared journey — one that grows stronger with every opportunity to learn.
