Incap India Invests in Youth Development and Community leadership
April 24, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Incap India has contributed 2.5 million (approximately EUR 27,000) to the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Youth Centre in Mysore as part of its Sustainability Programme. The contribution supports the Centre’s work under the nearly 100-year-old Ramakrishna Ashram, which operates within the legacy of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission.
The objective of this youth centre is to impart higher values, skills, behavioural science, work culture and essential knowledge that will empower the youth to grow as leaders. The man-making and nation-building ideas and ideals of Swami Vivekananda will thus be at the core of the grassroot leadership programmes.
According to Murthy Munipalli, Managing Director of Incap India, supporting the youth centre aligns with Incap’s commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. “This initiative is an investment in the future, strengthening young minds and helping them realise their potential. By supporting education and value-based development, we are contributing to lasting positive impact in the region,” he said.
Over the years, Incap India has supported several impactful initiatives, including the establishment of a primary health centre and library in Mydala village, providing essential healthcare services and access to more than 6,000 books for local residents. The company has also sponsored a computer lab at Chinmaya Vidyalaya Banashankari to help students gain vital digital skills. In addition, Incap India has provided laptops to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and supported rural schoolchildren by sponsoring sportswear, promoting both academic and extracurricular development. Together, these efforts complement Incap’s focus on ethical manufacturing, environmental responsibility, and inclusive growth.
Incap India factory is located in Tumkur, near Bangalore. To meet the growing demand, Incap has been increasing the production capacity in India and opened a third factory in India in 2023. The three factories at Incap India have 34,561 square meters of total floor space. The factory produces inverters and UPS, battery chargers, PCBs for fuel and cash dispensers, power supply units, rescue devices, solar inverters, drives and medical devices as well as devices for other electronic industrial products. The machinery is suitable for common component technologies, and together with the great location and skilled personnel, Incap can provide high-quality manufacturing services to meet the most demanding customer needs.
