Drawing on the latest data and over 130 interviews with Indian policymakers, entrepreneurs and academics, this report explores the policies, institutions and industries that are driving research and innovation. It measures how India's research strengths are developing, and maps how the geography of Indian research and innovation is changing.

Innovation has raced up the Indian Government's agenda in recent years, and the President has declared the next ten years the 'Decade of Innovation.' Yet at first glance, recent developments in India's innovation ecosystem appear not to have kept pace with its explosive economic growth. India's science budget has grown at 25 per cent a year for the last five years, but expenditure on R&D remains under 1 per cent of GDP. India's record of scientific publications lags that of China, and the gap is widening: over the same period as India's scientific output doubled, China's grew by seven times.
