India and the US have formed a Brain Trust aimed at deepening and strengthening cooperation between the best and brightest in the scientific community of the world’s two largest democracies.
The partnership between the Indian and American scientific community, researchers, academicians, businesses and entrepreneurs is a “win-win” for not only the two countries, but also the entire world, said Indian Ambassador to the US Arun K Singh.
“We find now a strategic convergence in our interest and we are working together in different areas,” he said in his address at the inaugural dinner of the Indo-US Brain Trust here on Thursday.
A partnership for research and development and scientific collaboration is essential to take this relationship to the next level, he said. “There is a huge potential there,” he added.
“Several major US companies have developed products in India, which their CEOs have said to me they could not have developed in the US because researchers and scientists here approach the problem from different perspective with different resource availability, they are targeting with different objective,” Singh said.
