ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 3

Launch of I4F Programme by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, with Israeli counterpart H. E. Benjamin Netanyahu on 15 January 2018, during “India-Israel Business Summit 2018” at New Delhi


Dear Members,

Globally, political and economic flux is increasing in pace and complexity. Priorities are being reconfigured and societies are transforming their terms of engagement with each other. We are in the midst of a VUCA (vulnerable, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world. Change has become the only constant.

Technology is at the heart of the disruption of the status quo and is creating a future of unknowns. Artificial intelligence, advanced materials, blockchain, 3D printing, Industrial IoT, virtual reality, augmented reality and CRISPR are the new tools of the world we live in. The Government of India has set an aspiration of becoming a US$ 5 trillion economy by 2025. How the Indian economy will be able to assimilate this new technology-driven toolkit will determine to what extent we can realise this ambitious aspiration.

As an innovation management agency, GITA endeavours to embrace these changes and support Indian industry as it navigates the same, in a sustainable manner. Indeed, our mantra has increasingly become ‘to help Indian Industry move up the innovation ladder’ and the year gone by provided strong testimonial to this credo.

We are delighted to share that 2018-19 saw many firsts for GITA. We had a record number of bilateral industrial R&D calls being launched-5; a record number of projects being awarded-11; and perhaps,

most importantly, a record number of projects reaching the metaphorical finish line-5, in terms of complete closure, and another 12 in terms of completion of their technical development stages.

As one reviews the success stories of completed projects featured in this Annual Report, what stands out is the game-changing impact that some of these technologies will bring to bear in their respective fields for society as a whole. These ‘champions’ deserve special recognition for being able to place new products, new processes or new prototypes at the doorstep of commercialisation - after navigating undulating technological landscapes, transcending hurdles that accompany the process of innovation and staying the course to reach their intended goals. These champions represent the true ethos of what we endeavoured to catalyse when we established GITA in 2011 and we are confident that, with the support of our partnering Government Ministries/ Departments, this momentum will grow from strength to strength.

The bilateral industrial R&D programmes continued to evolve with the one with the Republic of Korea being substantially revamped over the course of the year and becoming an initiative under the India-Korea Future Strategy Group. The Programme has been reconfigured as bilateral cooperation between Ministry of Commerce & Industry (MoC&I) and Ministry of Science & Technology (DST) from Govt.

CHAIRMAN & CO-CHAIRMAN’S

MESSAGE


ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 5ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 5

of India and Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) and Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) from Govt of Korea. This revamped Programme has a commitment of approximately US$ 20 Mn from each side for a period of 5 years.

We also broadened and formalised our engagement with the Indian innovation ecosystem with a new initiative – the GITA Innovation Exchange (GIXC). The GIXC is a unique, virtual platform that endeavours to create credible connects for technological partnerships, technologies, IP services and finance for innovation, for actors across the innovation spectrum. GITA’s support for the Technology Development Fund (TDF) scheme of the Defense Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) was in top gear during the course of the year. Feasibility studies were done for 20 projects, 57 Expressions of Interest were reviewed and 20 Detailed Project Reports were evaluated. GITA was able to facilitate registration of more than 3000 users on the TDF website, reflecting a growth of 145%. Leveraging the GIXC platform, GITA also conceptualised and created a bespoke and unique Technology Knowledge Grid for DRDO capturing key capabilities of Indian defence technology suppliers.

We would like to thank all the employees and Members of GITA for their unstinting support and efforts through the course of the year – all of which

made the year so special. We invite our partners in Government and industry to continue this journey in 2019-20 in order to advance Indian innovation and innovation in India.

Best Wishes,

Vikram S Kirloskar Dr Neeraj Sharma Chairman Co-Chairman

When we applied for a Grant to install a manufacturing line, we were called to make a presentation to an audience of about 15 members, the interaction was useful and we understood how govt projects gets shortlisted based on merit. Our interaction with GITA was professional at every step. GITA is a down to earth organization looking to see how support can be given to develop technologies indigenously or jointly with an overseas partner.We will certainly refer many entrepreneurs in manufacturing space to be part of GITA in any manner.

HEMALATHA ANNAMALAI FOUNDER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Ampere Vehicles Pvt Ltd. Coimbatore

GITA has provided us a wonderful opportunity to setup an international collaborative R&D project for building an Optical Coherence Tomography device for use in eye care.

The Grant extended to the participating companies by GITA and Innovate-UK will mitigate the risk in researching such a product.

The close mentoring and valuable assistance by GITA was helpful throughout the project. The GITA team was very professional and supportive at critical times in providing us with inputs in making substantial progress.

I believe that schemes like these will act as a tremendous catalyst in promoting R&D activities in India.

M.K.RANJAN BHANDARYMANAGING DIRECTOR

Manipal Technologies Limited (MTL), Manipal

GITA provides a ground-breaking platform to develop R&D ecosystem in India and is an important cornerstone for ‘Make in India’ initiative. GITA being a joint government and industry body is rightly placed to connect the Indian and International R&D landscape. The programme helps to co-invent, co-create and develop solutions to address the market opportunities.

I am very happy to share our experience of working with GITA.

We had a smooth application process, & a rigorous technical & business case evaluation. And since the time we started our work under the GITA umbrella, we have found the inputs from the technical & business evaluators to be extremely useful. In fact, some of their suggested approaches yielded results way beyond our expectations.

So, for us, it has been a very fruitful journey along with GITA.

We had applied for the project with low expectations, however to our surprise and jubilation, we not only were awarded the grant, but also introduced to a motivated, determined, target and service-oriented group of individuals. We had little doubt about our own technical capabilities, and negligible experience with international research collaborations and agreements. The team almost handheld us in not only drafting agreements, but also guided us through the technicalities and formalities. We are grateful to this GITA team and appreciate their pivotal role in enabling us to complete our project in time and more importantly, with success.
