Partner

Three doors to the institute.

PHĪME is a small operating institution that takes its partners seriously and answers real letters from people doing serious work in return. Choose the lane closest to your funding thesis or partnership intent — or write directly and we'll route you ourselves. Real letters get real answers.

CSR programme officers

Field deployment, community health, regenerative ecology.

For CSR teams whose funding thesis lives in community health, regenerative agriculture, or planetary-health-as-public-good. PHĪME runs two operational field sites — Farm8 (Aya Nagar, Delhi) and Nannilam (Tamil Nadu) — with continuous instrumentation and a cultural-translation layer through partners like FICA and the Goethe-Institut.

What you can fund Programme deployment at Farm8 or Nannilam · WSLF Steward training cohorts · Community-health intake infrastructure · Soil/microbiome longitudinal measurement. §80G + 12AB tax-deduction-eligible vehicles in place; FCRA roadmap underway.

Deep-tech & IP funders

Protocol layer, AI-enabled triage, defensible IP.

For deep-tech funds, DPIIT-track investors, and IP-stage philanthropy whose thesis is novel-protocol-becoming-platform. PHĪME's IP stack centres on the RMST therapy protocol and the FMST clinical-decision-support tool, with a sister-layer OMST anchored at SGT University's Faculty of Dental Sciences.

What you can fund RMST protocol R&D · FMST tool development & clinical evaluation (EVAH Pathway A application active) · OMST oral-metabolic interface · IP filings track (Pradeep + Googlies) · DPIIT Revised Framework Deep Tech designation.

Clinical & research partners

Cohort, paper sequence, multi-site evaluation.
