Powering Progress: The Visionaries Behind India’s Innovation Surge

India is on the verge of a technological renaissance spearheaded by visionaries such as Suhas Patil and Anjan Bose, whose recent achievement highlights the nation's pressing need for thousands of more innovators to spearhead strategic research and change.

 

Key Highlights:

 

Anjan Bose's International Acclaim: Regents Professor Anjan Bose was recently honored with the prestigious IEEE Power and Energy Society Lifetime Achievement Award for pioneering work in power grid automation and control. Bose's over five-decade-long career has yielded innovations in grid reliability, training operators, and averting massive blackouts. His influence ranges from the academy to policy, including work as an advisor to the Department of Energy and as a trailblazer in engineering education. Bose's passion remains a source of inspiration as India and the globe face new renewable energy and distributed power system issues.

 

Healthcare Innovation Leadership: In June, Anjan Bose became Chief Advisor to The Insight Tribe, a healthcare innovation and strategy consultancy. With over 40 years of leadership experience of global healthcare companies, Bose will lead startups and players alike through India's evolving healthcare ecosystem, with a focus on policy alignment and adoption of innovation.

 

Suhas Patil's Disruptive Strategy: Suhas Patil, co-founder, and Sankey Solutions' CEO has transformed talent recruitment and innovation in India's IT industry. Through recruiting and mentoring rural Maharashtra graduates, Patil's business has expanded so quickly that it is listed in Asia Pacific's fastest-growing companies. Sankey Solutions' culture of mindset, design thinking, and entrepreneurship over conventional qualifications has helped young teams deliver transformational technologies around the world.

 

The Need for More Innovators: Industry observers and leaders note that the future economic and technological supremacy of India depends on creating many more "hidden champions" such as Bose and Patil. Their experiences show how creating raw talent, fostering innovations, and creating collaborative platforms can turn India into the driver of global innovations.
