‘Where are India’s Nobel prizes…’: Myntra founder calls out India’s failing 0.6% R&D spend

India was once a global leader in science, math and astronomy for more than 2,000 years. Ramanuan’s math genius from the underground work of BOSE, the Indian thought formed a modern scientific thought. Today, the country is far from the boundaries of edge technology.

Mukesh Bansal MYNTRA co-founder makes alarm. “For 2000 years, India has ruled the world in science, mathematics and astronomy.” He writes in X.

The prosnary highlights the scientific achievements of the past of India, pointing to Nobel laureates such as CV Raman, S. Chandrasekhar and Abdus Salam.

He notes that he did not receive Nobel, while his name lives with Boz-Asshen Kondensat and Bozons about the physics of particles. Institutions for IISC, TIFR, IIT and BarC were the basis for modern research, such as Satish Davan and Abdul Kalam, despite limited resources.

But today the prosnary warns. “A handful of global firms form the future of innovation.” If India wants to restore its place at the forefront of scientific discovery, she claims to work now. He calls for “Manhattan Project for Indian Science and Technology,” emphasizing five urgent priorities.

• Raise R & D cost with 1.5-2% of GDP (currently only 0.6%).
• Build a deep technology launch ecosystem in collaboration with a strong industry-academy.
• Strengthen Stem Education and inspire love from an early age for science and mathematics.
• Encourage researchers and the faculty to start and commercialize innovation.
• Invest in long-term research: promotion discoveries and intellectual property.

“India has talent,” prosperous claims “, but now we need bold guidance, decisive reforms and light thinking.”

His vision. 100 original unicorn and new wave of Indian Nobel laureates in the 21st century.
