Business Standard: Industry leaders should engage with research institutes #Rise_Conclave2026 Read: business-standard.com/indust…

Deccan Herald: India now has 2.3 lakh startups, generated 25 lakh jobs #RISE_Conclave2026 deccanherald.com/india/india…

#Bengaluru Industry outreach was marked by a highly enriching roundtable, where representatives of some of India’s leading business houses as well as MNCs came forth with candid views and some very constructive ideas about how best to go about in scaling up the private engagement in deep tech and globally relevant indigenous ventures. The @narendramodi government is open to inputs from all quarters and we realise the importance of reinforced synergy between public-private sectors in order to achieve the target 2047. #RISE_Conclave2026

#Bengaluru: Delivered inaugural address at the #RISE_Conclave 2026 (Research, Innovation, StartUp Entrepreneurship' Conclave): Key Takeaways: "The basic objective of the RISE Conclave is to bring together the four pillars of Research, Industry, Start-ups and Entrepreneurship on one platform, to facilitate  collaborations among #StartUps, industry, investors, academia and policymakers for long-term sustainability. India's StartUp ecosystem comprised only around 350–400 StartUps in 2014, but overnight picked up after PM @narendramodi's call from the Red Fort, and has today expanded to nearly 2.3 lakh StartUps, making India the world's third-largest StartUp ecosystem generating over 24 lakh jobs. 50 per cent of India's StartUps are now emerging from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Entrepreneurship is accessible to individuals with commitment, passion and technological aptitude, regardless of their location or formal educational qualification. We have consciously ventured into sectors that remained underexplored in the past. The government is also very forthcoming in engaging the private sector in a big way, because an integrated approach is essential for achieving global standards. Space and biotech sectors are two examples of rapid economic growth after accelerating the PPP model".

Walked through the 2-day exhibition of the #RISE_Conclave2026; “Research, Industry, StartUp, Entrepreneurship Conclave 2026" at #Bengaluru. Accompanied by Director General, CSIR, Dr. N.

On foundation day @snbkol celebrates four decades of nurturing scientific talent and advancing discovery. Empowering students, researchers and innovators through world-class infrastructure, cutting-edge research and global collaborations, the institution continues to strengthen India's scientific sovereignty and innovation ecosystem. As an autonomous institution under @IndiaDST, its journey is reinforced by @IndiaDST's strategic support for indigenous technologies, advanced computing and frontier research—driving the vision of an #AtmanirbharBharat built on knowledge, innovation and self-reliance. #FoundationDay @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @Dhana_Arumugam1 @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi @mygovindia

In a groundbreaking collaboration, @IITGuwahati & @MoesNiot — supported under #NMICPS by @IndiaDST — have successfully deployed 3D-printed artificial coral reefs across the #AndamanIslands. Blending cutting-edge engineering, marine science and advanced technology, this initiative is restoring fragile marine ecosystems, bolstering coastal resilience and advancing long-term ocean conservation. A powerful example of science-driven innovation protecting marine biodiversity and building a more sustainable future. @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @kapoorektadst @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi

#OneDayOneResearch Scientists from @BSIP_official, an autonomous institute of @IndiaDST, uncovered molecular evidence of massive wildfires that swept across Gondwana forests nearly 250 million years ago. Using a novel multi-proxy approach combining palynofacies analysis, Raman spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy, the team reconstructed ancient fire events preserved in coal-bearing sediments of the Godavari Valley Coalfield, revealing how these fires influenced Earth’s climate, vegetation and coal-forming environments. 🔗 dst.gov.in/evidence-ancient-… @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi

A lively Industry interaction at the “IN-SPACe Industry Connect", at #Ahmedabad, diligently curated by Chairman IN-SPACe, Dr. Pawan Goenka. Some valuable and doable suggestions, some thought provoking ideas to carry home. Overwhelming enthusiasm in the room in the wake of PM @narendramodi’s courageous decision to open up the Space and Nuclear sectors to private players.

India Proposes Quantum Computing Collaboration With Russia russiaspivottoasia.com/india… India has proposed collaborating with Russia in the Quantum computing area to help it meet its National Quantum Mission goals. Russia already collaborates with China in this area, with all three players set to become global leaders.

Addressed the faculty and students at #IIT #GandhiNagar, Ahmedabad. Key Takeaways: "Recent science policy initiatives of the Govt of India are aimed at democratising access to research funding and opportunity, for overall ease of research. The Anusandhan National Research Foundation #ANRF, whose Governing Body is chaired by PM Sh @narendramodi, seeks to ensure that financial and technical support reaches institutions beyond the traditional centres of excellence. India's research ecosystem draws strength from its diversity by bringing together expertise from science, humanities, social sciences and traditional knowledge to address national challenges in a holistic manner. Last decade has been the decade of science and technology, when India increasingly emerged as an active participant in frontier technologies. The initiatives such as the National Quantum Mission and India AI Mission are creating new opportunities to contribute to the country's technological advancement. Emphasis ought to be on early industry linkage in research programmes. The collaboration with industry should begin at the stage of conceptualisation itself rather than after the completion of research, enabling smoother technology transfer and alignment with societal needs".

Visited the Research Park at #IIT Gandhi Nagar #Ahmedabad. Accompanied by Director Dr Moona, Advisor Dr Akhilesh Gupta and others. Appreciate the innovative efforts of young #StartUps and their attempts for meaningful Industry linkage. Also walked through the work undertaken in smart manufacturing, semiconductors, automation etc at NAMTECH.

Inaugurated “Central Instrumentation Facility” (CIF) supported by the Union Ministry of Science & Technology, and launched three Major Research Initiatives at IIT Gandhinagar, #Ahmedabad. Accompanied by Director IIT Gandhinagar, Prof. Rajat Moona, and senior faculty members. Among the second generation IITs of India, IIT Gandhi Nagar stands out, with the advantage of a favourable ecosystem around.

Arrived at The Forum, Hotel & Convention, Shela, #Ahmedabad, for the "IN-SPACe: Sealing India's Space Aspirations." With Chairman IN-SPACe, Dr. Pawan Goenka and Chairman #ISRO, Dr. V. Narayanan.

Arrived #Ahmedabad this morning, to a bright sunny morning. At Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport…with senior officials from state and central governments. Looking forward to an eventful day!
