becoming a globally competitive, innovation-driven
economy. The country’s rapidly expanding STEM talent
base, rising research output and growing deep-tech
entrepreneurship reflect strong foundational momentum.
Yet, unlocking India’s full potential will require more than
incremental improvements—it demands coordinated
action, forward-looking reforms, and a deliberate shift toward a high-trust, high-productivity research and innovation ecosystem.
This report underscores the critical levers needed to accelerate that transition: strengthening institutional autonomy, unlocking flexible and diversified funding, and
embedding targeted incentives that reward quality, collaboration and translational impact. Equally essential are deeper industry–academia partnerships, globally
benchmarked governance models, and mission-driven research consortia that can mobilize talent and resources around national priorities.
