This hit hard. Thank you for putting it out. Maybe it’ll spark some change somewhere. There have been some encouraging policy decisions in the past 2 years but I don’t know how much has happened on the ground. Hope things change. They must change if we want to get close to the Viksit Bharat dream.

An extremely well researched and thoughtful piece-the author deserves much credit for assembling his thoughts and marshalling the facts in such a comprehensive manner. I was unaware of the onerous and self-defeating regulations surrounding Indian Biotech. Really need a complete mindset change here to establish a viable innovation ecosystem. It will take a huge effort to axe the bureaucracy that stymies growth.

We certainly need people like you in top government where you can have things in line of control than circle of influence which you are trying.

I hope someone from big shots of Modi team get a notice on this and it makes some thinking ok adopting few of the ideas.
