Nasscoms panel discussion
Nasscom's panel discussion on Innovation in R&D.
Is Indian industry too services-oriented and culturally lack the spirit of innovation, or is it on its way to becoming a hub for innovation? These were some of the thought-provoking issues that were discussed during a Nasscom's panel discussion on Innovation in R&D. Out of the total Indian IT/ITES $22.2 billion export pie, R&D services including both captive and third party account for $2.7 billion and is growing at 35% every year. Milind Gandhe, GM, Strategic Planning, Sasken Communications, a company that is into both R &D services as well as products, said that it was important for companies to get an early start into the market and get aggressive by being part of standardization bodies to get an edge in filing patents. All the panelists also agreed that the Indian IT professional's traditional risk averse mindset was more oriented towards services, and this had to change if India wants to be reckoned as a serious player for product innovation.

Sai Gundavelli
Sai Gundavelli
Sai Gundavelli is the CEO of Solix Technologies, a Sunnyvale, CA based provider of enterprise data management solutions. Gundavelli, an angel investor and entrepreneur started Solix in 1995 on the principle that eighty percent of the data on an enterprises’ system is active only twenty percent of the time. Solix has offices in North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. Prior to founding Solix technologies, Gundavelli spearheaded several strategic initiatives and managed key product portfolios of technology leaders like CISCO Systems, Arix Corp. and Modular Integrated Systems. Gundavelli holds a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma.
Solix started in Enterprise Application Services. When Enterprise Application Services started evaporating in the early months of 2001, they needed to quickly reset our direction. They identified a new space—Enterprise Data Management—that was product-based rather than services-based. Traditionally, building a product company requires a different culture compared to a services company and you seldom see one company doing both. It required a lot of leadership from Solix team to accomplish that, and they did.
