Tracking Innovation Ecosystem in India

The book investigates the impact of recent policies and regulatory changes related to innovation on Indian organizations. The book keeps a sharp focus on tracking innovation-related public policy in India. Out of the three methods of looking into innovation (i.e., R&D expenditure, patents, and innovation survey), it adopts the innovation survey method. An innovation survey that traces innovation over almost a decade is a novel contribution of the book. Additionally, using quantitative and qualitative methods in the study makes it more dynamic and robust. The book helps to identify both the quantitative and qualitative trends and patterns of innovation in India. The book adopts the survey method to trace and identify the impact of changing policies and regulations related to innovation in India for almost a decade (i.e., 2016, 2020, and 2023). The book uniquely covers not only Indian manufacturing and non-manufacturing firms (i.e., micro, small, medium, and large) but also startups, HEIs, and R&D labs in its survey. The book is of interest to policymakers, academics, embassies, state-level government offices, researchers, and students.
