How could a person in right mind hire a fresh PhD with no publication, a high school science exhibition medal, and a dead startup company on his CV to overhaul CSIR. The handshake appointment also smells fishy. The story sounds like a 8 year old boy hired a 6 year old to fix a man's job and the two kids got into a mudfight. <br /><br />It is no wonder that CSIR patents made no net profit. Even many western universities and institutes dont make any net profit fromt heir tech transfer office for years. The concept of universities and research institutes making profitable spinoff is relatively new in India and will take time. Typical successful patents in the western world take 10-20 years before they bring significant money back to the Universities/institutes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
