More than 70% of the startups in Silicon Valley have an Indian connection in some way or the other, said Padma Vibhushan RA Mashelkar, chief guest at the third convocation of IIT-Indore on Monday.
Stating that for the dream of ‘Make in India’ to be possible, it is crucial to find out what is stopping these young minds to flourish in Indus Valley as they flourish in Silicon Valley.
Mashelkar said, “It is important for an ecosystem to be developed on the lines of Cambridge University which follows a cycle of education-research-innovate. Majority of their students study at the institute and then on their road to innovation, they join ventures started by their alma mater. A similar kind of approach is required by us in India.”
Quoting examples from the likes of Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft and Sundar Pichai of Google, Mashelkar spoke words of inspiration and wisdom to the outgoing batch of 2015.
