Intellectual capital is a prime mover of economic activity. India has been moving up the value chain from merely being the world’s back office to the world’s leading R&D destination. This change can be attributed to a number of mutually reinforcing factors such as - availability of high quality human resource, improved infrastructure for research & development and proven excellence in bringing new innovation.
Realizing the promise and potential that India has to offer in the field of R&D, FICCI instituted a special desk dedicated to science, technology and innovation. Since the inception of the desk in 2007-08, FICCI’s S&T/Innovation division has carved a niche among the scientific community
