Addressing the gathering, Dr Sridhar said, “Innovation is a major driving force for a nation’s sustainable growth and competitiveness amidst globalisation. Innovative ideas by individuals lead towards making complex processes simple, easy and economical resulting in new products, technologies and opportunities and thus ensuring sustainable growth.
