Absolutely brilliant idea, “BHARAT-FIRST”, an independent S&T think tank. But it must include dynamic young & mid-career scientists, not just senior voices. Otherwise, it risks becoming another top-down Niti Aayog or ANRF style body. @PMOIndia @karandi65.
India is at a historic inflection point in technology-led innovation. In this @Business_Line_ article, @vipin_sondhi and I articulate the need to pair research, development, and innovation investments with foresight (. With the Government’s recent

Many of us trying to translate fundamental research into industry-ready tech face roadblocks due to weak institutional & policy support. Prof. @Sandeep_1966 ‘National Research Convergence Consortia’ is a game-changer - should integrate with the National Startup Policy @PMOIndia.
A proposal for "National Research Convergence Consortia" - flipped strategy to align and strengthen industry relevant translational work in academic campuses. Some highlights:. 1️⃣ 20 Research Convergence Consortia proposed at national level at ₹15,000 Cr investment. 2️⃣
