Dear Reader,
I have been pursuing many different efforts in trying to build a strong science and technology-based innovation ecosystem for Pune city and India. While I do that, I want to remain deeply engaged with the process of technology development and the innovators on the field; this I feel is very important to be grounded in reality and build a practically useful ecosystem addressing real needs. I am organization and ecosystem builder with the heart of a technologist and inventor.
The unifying themes in my activities are:
- Technology development (esp with a focus on biomed engg and materials science)
- Technology strategy and policy
- Invention and intellectual property
- Innovation management and technology commercialization (including technology transfer)
- Incubation
- Entrepreneurship
- Societal impact via technology intervention
