India’s innovation push needs policy, governance to catch up with technology

India’s innovation push needs policy, governance to catch up with technology - Industry - 3 min read India’s innovation push needs policy, governance to catch up with technology The real test, participants indicated, will be the extent to which Indian operations influence product roadmaps, own intellectual property, generate patents and participate in global risk and business decisions. India’s ambition to emerge as a global innovation and R&D powerhouse will depend on more than its vast talent pool, digital scale and growing technology capabilities. It will require regulatory certainty, stronger governance, greater ownership of intellectual property and a policy ecosystem capable of keeping pace with innovation. That was the central takeaway from the Executive Roundtable, "Unlocking Innovation, Investment and Strategic Growth: Driving Cutting-Edge Technology through Legal & Policy Enablers", hosted by ETLegalWorld and ETCFO, in association with JSA Advocates & Solicitors, under the JSA Boardroom Connect platform in Bengaluru on September 3. A key theme was the changing role of India’s Global Capability Centres. While GCCs have expanded well beyond back-office operations and are increasingly taking on product engineering, AI, automation and research responsibilities, the next stage of the transition will be defined by ownership. The real test, participants indicated, will be the extent to which Indian operations influence product roadmaps, own intellectual property, generate patents and participate in global risk and business decisions. The discussion also turned to the regulatory environment, with participants highlighting how complex approvals, fragmented processes and delays can influence global investment and expansion decisions.

“How Could A Magistrate Dare?”: Supreme Court Questions Noida Notice To Student Over CJP Protest The Supreme Court sharply questioned a Greater Noida Executive Magistrate’s notice requiring a student to furnish a ₹5 lakh peace bond over the CJP protests, days after it quashed the FIRs and barred coercive action. New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday sharply questioned a notice issued by an Executive Magistrate in Greater Noida to a university student in connection with the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) student protests, with Chief Justice of India Surya Kant asking “how could a Magistrate dare to issue such a notice” when the Court had quashed the FIRs against the protesting students and expressly barred any coercive action against them a notice that, on the petitioner’s submission, prima facie raises a question of contempt [mentioning in Shailendra Mani Tripathi v. A Bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana was told of the notice through an oral mentioning, and indicated that it would seek an explanation from the authority concerned, asking the petitioner to place the notice on record through a proper petition. The observations recorded below were made orally; the question of whether the notice amounts to contempt remains to be examined. ‘How could a Magistrate dare to issue such a notice?’ The matter was mentioned by Senior Advocate Bishwajit Bhattacharyya, who submitted that despite the Court’s recent order showing leniency towards the protesting students, a second-year student had been served a notice by the Executive Magistrate, Greater Noida, reportedly on the basis of Noida Police inputs. The notice, he said, had been “about to be executed” before being withdrawn, as later reported in the press. He urged that the students could not be made the subject of “an experiment,” and that the action…
