Office of Adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations
Creating Innovation Ecosystems
• MSME Industry Clusters
• Innovation requires collaboration & partnering
• Getting Cluster to act as one entity to attract interest & economies of scale
• Facilitating growth of industry via new products, processes, common centres, startups creation

Pilot Approach = CIC + Partnerships
• Cluster Innovation Centre: A small group of people developing the ecosystem as an arm of the cluster association
o Connector: Networking and sharing hub
o Innovator: Manage innovation initiatives within/for the cluster
o Channel: Facilitate in-bound and out-bound innovation activities
Total of 39 partners in Ecosystem

Handling/Storage of fresh fruit
BY AIR BY SEA
CSIR – CFTRI Process Innovation Technique testing show : - 5x increase in storage life (7 days to 35 days)- 5x reduction of freight charges- Opens cluster to new export markets- Benefits to 25,000 farmers & families
Food Processing Cluster
Office of Adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations
New Lacquer for Brassware Polish
CSIR – NML Product Innovation tests show:- 2-4x less time to dry (reduced from 30-60min to 15min). No baking oven needed.- 50x more storage time for lacquer formulation (1-2weeks to 2 years)- Low gloss (natural metal) finish rather than high gloss finish (plastic-like)- Can be applied as dip, brush and spray coating compared versus spray only
Outdoor Exposure test “Flower of Sulfur Test” (ASTM B 809)

End-to-End Entrepreneur Support
Entrepreneurship Facilitation Centre
- Broad support from information, CIC, networking, credit identification, common design tools, lean manufacturing, material sourcing, mentoring and handholding through hotline / email
- Tod-Fod-Jod center at Manav Rachna Univ. to encourage students to provide innovative solutions to industry problems entrepreneurs trying to solve
- Access to design and rapid-prototyping facilities
Auto Components Cluster

Pilot Challenges Cluster Organizational Readiness
Representation readiness poles apart e.g. Moradabad vs. Faridabad Innovation Program Execution
Funding disbursements & procedures make difficult to execute on-time Pilots will end Sept-Nov timeframe from July target
Lack of Ministry support/interest No “innovation” schemes, field-level unable to grasp essence of program
Our bandwidth to engage State-level participants is low Skills at striking & maintaining win-win partnerships is tough in field
Business model and sustainability CIC model too early to assess viability
University clusters Although small sample size … unable to ID a “pull” effect, requires significant
financing and hand-holding reviews
Scale Up Plan
Office of Adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations
Roadmap Proposed
2012-13
100Clusters
(Scale Up I)
2013-14
300+Clusters
(Scale Up II)
2011-12
8Clusters
(Pilot Phase) Focus
Office of Adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations
Scale Up (Part 1) in 2012Industry Clusters Expand existing pilot strategy given encouraging signs
CSIR as lead partner to develop 60-70 innovation clusters Effort has begun, note established on approach (see handout), cluster
engagement & funding gaps to be determined, agreed to hire 2 BD personnel for 6 month immersion program at NInC
Post feedback the note will be sent for NInC approval via email Start another Ministry effort
Min. of Textiles as lead partner has suggested 20-25 clusters collaboration However determined these clusters are largely unorganized (and tough to
organize) Start Sector-driven lead partner via professional sector organizations
Target 3-4 clusters
Office of Adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations
Scale Up (Part 1) in 2012Industry Clusters (cont’d) Start State-driven lead partner via State Innovation Councils
Target 1-3 states NInC to complete program manual, case studies, best practices
and act as expert/facilitator with each lead partner. Can this work? With existing staff BW @ NInC?
University Clusters Begin a sub-group at NInC to figure out next steps
Office of Adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations
Scale Up (Part II)
High level proposal on scale-up strategy being developed (initial draft – see handout)
Synergize with Planning Commission, NInC learnings and other Government agencies National Innovation Cluster Policy and implementation through new or
existing Agency Accept that “policy” should occur after “incubation in the field”
to increase our success rates of programs Especially true for approaches that require cross-functional, cross-
ministry effort (e.g. Backbone org for manufacturing)
