Role of Research and Innovation in Shaping Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat
ACSE - Trends in Scholarly Publishing (TSP)
January 03, 2025

ndia's vision for Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and Viksit Bharat (developed India) relies heavily on promoting research and innovation. Researchers can significantly contribute to self-reliance and global control by transforming academic discoveries into entrepreneurial ventures, by bridging the gap between academia and industry. Patents and PhDs can propel economic growth and the creation of new industries. In industries including healthcare, energy, and agriculture, India's emphasis on domestic innovation encourages the development of domestic answers to global problems. Researchers are supported by government programs like Startup India and the Atal New India Challenge, which offer infrastructure, cash, and mentorship. To turn research into successful businesses, academia, industry, and government must collaborate in a collaborative ecosystem. To create MSMEs that support India's entrepreneurial ecosystem, researchers might take advantage of these changes. By embracing entrepreneurship, India may further its national development objectives and become a leader in global innovation. This article explores the potential of research-based entrepreneurship, its alignment with India's national priorities, and actionable strategies for researchers to navigate the journey from innovation to enterprise.
