India has a large number of capable scientists and engineers, and yet is not a major innovator and has not succeeded much in commercializing research. This book examines the factors affecting innovation, evaluates them in the Indian context, and makes specific suggestions to turn India into an innovative commercial giant.

About the Author

Dr. Vaidyanathan Ramaswami is an Indian citizen residing in the USA who had his initial education in India (M.Sc. Stat/Econometrics) and later a Ph.D. (Operations Research) from Purdue University which has named him a Distinguished Alumnus. He is an internationally acclaimed researcher in applied probability. His work at the industrial laboratories - Bell Labs, Bell Communications Research, and AT&T Research - has impacted several real world systems and international standards. One of them on congestion control for Emergency 911 service assurance was hailed life saving. Though a mathematician by training, Ramaswami holds many patents related to congestion control, voice call recording, and efficient multimedia distribution over the Internet. He has co-authored a book published jointly by ASA (American Statistical Association) and SIAM (Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics). It is considered the definitive source for his area of research, matrix analytic methods in probability. In Bellcore, he rose to the highest technical position as Chief Scientist. His experience is rich by having straddled both academia and industry, and embellished even more through major involvement in a technology start-up company. He has a keen interest in all things Indian and has written on a variety of topics such as Carnatic music and Hinduism, as well as on current issues of politics and economy. He is a veritable example of the 'Argumentative Indian.'
