According R.A. Mashlekar, the innovation culture must be promoted in India by believing that the ‘ I ‘ in India stands for ‘ innovation.’ Secondly, innovation must be directed to the national goal of, ‘ inclusive growth’ by creating an ‘access equality ‘ despite the ‘ income in equality.’ The Indian innovation must move quickly from mind to market place. There are bottlenecks here. ae must recognise that research labs need funding, and produce output. They thus convert money into knowledge. The real challenge comes after the research output is available again for conversion into money. Thus we have to create monetisable knowledge. The skills in patenting too must be mastered. Fourthly, we must recognise the innovative potential of each Indian. Fifthly, we must build a national innovative eco-system.
