India’s notable CSE contributors include Raj Reddy (Turing Award), Vinod Khosla (Sun Microsystems co-founder), Narayana Murty (Infosys co-founder) and Satya Nadella (Microsoft CEO).

There are several reasons why India’s contributions to computer science and engineering (CSE) inventions may seem limited – 

1. Skilled Indian computer scientists and engineers emigrate to developed countries for better opportunities, depriving India of innovative talent.
2. Insufficient government and private investments in research and development hinder CSE innovation, stifling project execution and talent growth.
3. India’s education system prioritizes theoretical knowledge over practical application, hands on research and innovation, limiting CSE inventiveness and entrepreneurial mindset.
4. Limited collaboration and knowledge transfer between universities and industries hinders CSE innovation, slowing research commercialization and practical application.
5. Complex and costly patenting processes discourage Indian CSE innovators, hindering intellectual property protection and limiting invention commercialization and recognition.
6. Risk aversion, emphasis on stability and traditional values discourage entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and experimentation in India’s CSE community.

Initiatives like Make in India, Startup India, Digital India and Atal Innovation Mission promote CSE innovation while schemes like Visvesvaraya PhD Scheme and PM Research Fellows encourage research and entrepreneurship.
