Brain Gain: Promoting Research & Innovation
The global competition to attract high-skilled migrants to India.
Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women.
Team Details:
Jaspreet Kaur, Sonika Yadav, Mansi Singh, Balpreet Kaur, Aruksha Grover.
OUR MOTIVATION
Science is not what you do in the lab, it's what you take to the lab and what you
take out of the lab with your findings. It is not about collecting scientific
knowledge; it's a training of the mind. It’s easy to know, but difficult to
understand.
In the new Digital Economy, information that is circulated,
creates Innovations and contributes to National Wealth.
- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
CAN WE AFFORD BRAIN DRAIN ?
The UNDP estimates that India loses $2 billion a year because of the emigration of
computer experts to the U.S. Indian students going abroad for their higher studies
costs India a foreign exchange outflow of $10 billion annually.
No more than 1 percent of students with
undergraduate degrees opt for doctoral studies
and the substantial number who do prefer to go abroad.
India produces only up to 125 Ph.D.'s in computer engineering a
year, despite nearly 1.7 million engineering students graduating
each year.
Teaching and research
do not go together in India
as happens in the world’s leading universities
Why India lags behind in Research &
Innovation ?
 Pure science research done in India is uncontrolled, irrelevant or
concentrated in the hands of a few people atop the totem pole.
 Many Ideas in circulation are either borrowed or uncreative.
 Many students from top scientific and engineering institutions also have
been drifting to finance and management, leaving only mediocre students
who could not bring quality into the institutions.
 All talk of raising the GDP growth rate in India will be so much hot air if the
level of research and development (R&D) in terms of quality of
performance and investment do not measure up to the exacting demands of
knowledge economy.
 We have never advertised our positions abroad. China does. Malaysia
does.
Proposed Solution
 Assistance in converting your ideas, innovations and Research into an actual B-
Plan or to add into National Wealth.
 Networks of world-class entrepreneurs, investors, and potential partners.
 Funding for the enterprise through TIETS (Technology Incubation and
Entrepreneurial training Society), started under the aegis of SRIC.
 Mentorship by successful and seasoned professionals which include successful
industrialist.
 Broad media exposure and PR buzz.
 Motivation of Events & Activities organized by Global E-Cell is: Content rich
feedback on their business model from world class entrepreneurs, investors, and
professional service providers on our judging Panel.
 Broad media exposure and PR buzz.
Entrepreneurship Cell
Global Entrepreneurship Cell
Entrepreneurship Cell, India is a place for
all those who avoid taking beaten The
paths and believe in leaving trails in all
walks of life. This Cell aims at manifesting
the latent Entrepreneurial spirit of young
students. Not only do we at E-Cell show
you the doors of opportunity but we also
help you to walk through it by providing
resources such as seed, funding mentoring
,networking with other entrepreneurs
frequent interactive sessions and
Competitions.
If you have the entrepreneurial spark, we
make sure that it bursts. Strategically,
placed in a leading technological institute
at the heart of the commercial capital of
the country gives it a bird's eye view of
both, the students and the corporate.
With full- fledged support from the institute,
the Cell finds itself as a tide that would lift all
the boats that come in it's path.
It is a firm belief at the Entrepreneurship Cell
that original thoughts and radical ideas take
shape in young minds. Students are the
greatest natural resource and the Cell intends
to nurture them and provide them with
opportunities for excellence. It intends to
pierce the corporate veil, to let the budding
entrepreneurs get a feel of how the corporate
world works. In all it is the cherished dream of
the Entrepreneurship Cell to create
corprocrats out of the present day
technocrats.
The aim is to connect presently working E-Cells
of various Colleges on a common platform via
Global Entrepreneurship Cell.
Bugs of the current E-Cells
 Focus on short term Competition wining attitude.
 B-Plan Oriented.
 Lack in Resources and Strategy for new Competitions.
 Research is Secondary for E-Cell.
 High charges of Participation burn off their enthusiasm and Interest.
 No such Society in their respective colleges.
Various Events & Activities of Global
E-Cell?
 TED Talks by Eminent Corpocrats & Business tycoons, motivating on theme
Research and Innovations. Emphasizing on Profit on Self and Nation.
 Global Entrepreneurship Summit.
 StartIN : Portal for Internships to involve in Research Projects.
 Annual Global Event : The competition promises to bring about a fruitful
transition in the regular placement culture of the institute with the
introduction of Entrepreneurial avenues to the students. The competition is
aimed to transform the raw ideas that are born in the institute into full
fledged business models.
 Workshops & Guest lectures.
 Entrepreneurship Aware Drive or BootCamps : where learning is fun.
Why Global E-Cell?
At E-Cell an assortment of individuals with enthusiastic temperament, who aim
to translate the smallest yet inspiring ideas into functional business setups with
keenness and fervor. With focused minds working together in a conducive
environment, we form what is already recognized as THE MOST ACCLAIMED
entrepreneurship cell across the country. This holds good with respect to the
wholesome development we provide to the society. We sow the entrepreneurial
seed in our students by giving them a chance to dream, ideate, get the right
resource backing and mentoring to work towards making their dreams happen.
Our corporate associates get not only immense visibility and promotion, but
also an opportunity to work with and select from the best student pool in the
nation. And the society as a whole develops socio-economically through our
socio-business initiatives. Why you should be here, is because we make your
dreams our mission, we give you a positive entrepreneurial milieu that excites
you to work, and the guidance that ultimately lets your passion rule the world!
In favor of Innovation
 The tide is slowly turning. With rapid expansion of higher-education infrastructure
and enabling environments, India has been successful in attracting young
researchers back home.
 IIT Bombay has hired more than 100 young Indian assistant professors in the past
three years, all with international experience.
 The Indian government launched a prime minister’s fellowship scheme for doctoral
research with industry partnership last year for science, technology, engineering,
agriculture, and medicine. Under the scheme, 100 fellowships will be given to
selected candidates working on research projects jointly with industry.
Misinterpretations about Innovation
Innovation is responsible for as much as 80% of growth in a nation's
GDP. While most agree that it is the key to growing our economies
nationally and locally, there is a catch. Prosperity created by innovation
does not automatically translate into job growth. In each successive
recession of the past 50 years, job recovery has been significantly slower
than in the previous recession. The most recent recession in the
industrialized world is only the most dramatic example of a Jobless
Recovery.
Job Creator, Job Destroyer
Innovation is not just a job creator. It is a job-
destroyer as well. Innovation makes old
products and services obsolete by automating
routine and repetitive tasks, and substituting
hardware and software for human
beings. The pace of innovation in information
and communications technology – which has
created new jobs, new companies and new
industries – has also destroyed low-income and
middle-income jobs, from factories to call
centers, banks to law firms.
Striking the Balance
The world’s Intelligent Communities – including
the Top7 Intelligent Communities of 2013 – are
leading the way in striking the balance between
the positive and negative impacts of
innovation. Pursuing innovation, they are
generating economic growth and high-quality
employment in an environment that also delivers
exceptional quality of life for all. Their ability
to perform this balancing act makes the
difference between prosperity and irrelevance –
and makes them leaders in the Intelligent
Community movement.
In the end, we just want to conclude by saying:
"In a knowledge-based economy, a country
like ours will be left far behind by smaller
countries like South Korea or Israel or
even smaller countries if we do not keep pace
with others, let alone outpace them in the
fundamental sciences”.
