Chaired the Industry Leaders Roundtable for Bharat Innovates 2026 with global industry leaders and institutional partners to strengthen India’s deep-tech and research-driven innovation ecosystem.
India’s innovation ecosystem is powered by extraordinary talent from IITs, IISc and other leading institutions to those in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, driving progress across AI, semiconductors, climate-tech, mobility, health-tech and advanced manufacturing, with both national relevance and global potential.
This momentum is reflected in growing global recognition of India as a core innovation partner. Hon’ble President Emmanuel Macron has underscored that the question is no longer whether India innovates but “who will innovate with India” with France positioning itself as a leading partner in this journey.
