This document discusses offshore R&D in India and effective management strategies. It provides the following key points:
1) Offshore R&D in India can reduce costs by about 40% compared to the US while providing access to large pools of engineers. However, managing offshore teams requires addressing cultural differences.
2) Effective management of offshore R&D in India requires defining clear processes, frequent communication, monitoring metrics, and addressing cultural norms around decision making, hierarchy, and communication styles.
3) Not all work is suitable for offshoring. Critical, fast-paced, or core knowledge work may be better kept onshore due to complexity or time sensitivity. Offshoring general engineering work can

India has potential to become a global leader in research and development (R&D) through strengthening its education system and increasing investments in R&D. Currently, India invests 0.9% of its GDP in R&D compared to 3% targeted by China. While institutions like IITs and IISc are globally renowned for education, more world-class public and private universities are needed. Increased funding, accountability of research institutes, industry-academia links, intellectual property protections, and developing high-skilled talent could help India ramp up R&D investments and innovations to fuel its growing economy. With its demographic dividend and propensity for new ideas, India is well-positioned to emerge as a global

In most simplified way, this book explains the Inner Dynamics of the concept of Innovation from A to Z. In USA, Innovation supports at least 40 million jobs and contribute 34.8 % US GDP. South Korea, the Top most Innovative country of the World could raise GDP (PPP) per capita to $33140. India is just at $5410 (123rd position in the world). Innovation is must for economic growth & to become developed nation. But in the Innovation Decade (2011-2020), India slipped 10 ranks (76th position) in Global Innovation Index 2014. How to improve this situation? How to introduce the culture of Innovation in India? What are the root causes of poor Innovation Ecosystem in India? What is the importance of Innovation Clusters? What are the best practices all over the world? How to introduce innovation in industry and R&D labs? How to introduce innovation in Academia? How to enhance employability through Innovation Competencies? I would like to answer these question with the help of hundreds of interesting case studies.
The document proposes solutions to promote brain gain and inhibit brain drain in India. It discusses establishing research-oriented programs from intermediate levels, sharing ideas in a national forum, increasing CSIR powers, providing tax relief and international student plans to attract foreign talent.
