This document discusses several examples of technology transfer between government and academic institutions and private companies in India. It provides cases of technologies developed in areas such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and information technology that have been successfully transferred and commercialized. Examples include BARC transferring 90 technologies, NCL collaborating with universities and pharmaceutical companies, and DBT transferring forest tree technologies through tissue culture. Private companies like Eli Lilly, Wockhardt, and Cipla have signed licensing deals for drugs. Institutions like CDRI, TIFR, IIT Delhi have also successfully transferred technologies.

CASE STUDIES OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER(TT)

2. Commercialization-Practical Aspects And Problems (Case Studies) of Technology Transfer
The process of technology transfer is actively being pursued in India through Government laboratories,
Academics Institutions and Commercial entities.
• The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has developed and transferred around 90 technologies in the
areas such as environment and health, electronics, electrical and mechanical, chemical and metallurgy,
radioisotope and applications.
• The National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) Pune has several linkages with Universities and pharmaceutical
industries to ensure successful scale up and implementation of technology.
• Department of Biotech (DBT) has successfully transferred some techniques of forest trees through tissue
culture.
• Eli Lily has entered in technology transfer agreement with Shasun Chemicals and Drugs for the manufacturing
of anti-Tuberculosis drug Cycloserine produced by Shasun to meet Eli Lily global demand.
Other pharmaceutical companies like Wockhardt Ltd, Cipla Ltd, Torrent Pharmaceutical
Ltd, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd, USV Ltd have already signed in-licensing agreements with foreign drug
markers.

3. • Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) has developed technologies in the areas such as Malaria and other
parasitic diseases, CNS-CVS related disorder, reproductive health, diabetes and energy metabolism, cancer
biology and related areas, safety and clinical development.
• Tata Institute of Fundamental Research has successfully transferred some techniques of mathematics, natural
sciences, computer sciences, biological sciences.
• Technology Business Incubation Unit (TBIU)
TBIU was started in 2000 under the aegis of Technology Institution Program (TIP), as a part of the
Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI)/World Bank Funded TIP at IIT-D.
The TBIU program at IIT-D is aimed at promoting entrepreneurship among students, faculty and
scientists and creating successful technology business enterprises for the future.
Under this scheme, the start-ups/technology entrepreneurs are provided with an initial seed money and
space for converting new ideas/concepts/service into a business opportunity that is commercially
viable. This model has proven to be extremely helpful for the conversion of nascent technological ideas into
commercial entities.
TBIU, in its premises and in sync with the institute, permits activities such as innovative product
development, software development and testing, simulation and prototyping, pilot scale
experimentation, training and other works related to technology development.

4. • Ekam eco solutions pvt. Ltd.
Ekam Eco Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (www.ekamecosolutions.com) was initiated in financial year 2013-14 with
the aim of providing ecological solutions in the field of nutrient recovery, water conservation,
sanitation and sustainable habitat Foundation of Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) Annual
Report 2013-2014).
It works in the domains of sustainable livelihoods, sustainable sanitation and value-added bamboo
products. Ekam has successfully commenced its objectives by addressing the gap in innovation and
product development and is in the process of delivering out a number of innovative solutions which
could be implemented at rural and urban levels.
Global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Excellence and Leadership Award 2015 was presented to
Ekam in category of Social Impact Awards at APB News.
• FITT As a Biotech Ignition Grant (BIG) Partner
Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), an autonomous body of Department of
Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, New Delhi.
BIRAC is a section 25 companies and is actively involved in transforming the efforts of start-ups into
commercially viable products and technologies.
The Biotech Ignition Grant (BIG) scheme, which aims to invite proposals for the ignition grant twice a
year, supports entrepreneurs from the academia and research institutes for the commercialization of
technologies resulting from research in the area of biotechnology, which has been recognized as an emerging
and conspicuous area for growth.

5. • Frost & Sullivan’s Technology Partnership Program
Initiated by IIT-D has access to the Frost & Sullivan’s portal thereby getting useful market, technology
and econometric information along with the latest updates on technology trends across a broad range
of industry sectors (FITT Annual Report; 2014-15).
• Department of Information Technology-Technology Incubation and Development Entrepreneurs (DIT-
TIDE)
Department of Information Technology (DIT) has introduced Technology Incubation and
Development of Entrepreneurs (TIDE) for providing seed support in the broad area of IT development.
FITT has partnered for promoting this scheme, which provides incubators during early stages of the
development of various IT and ITES enabled firms.
