A distinguished gathering of industry and thought leaders marked the launch of “The ‘More from Less for More’” by Padma Vibhushan awardee and former Director General of CSIR, Government of India, Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar. The launch was attended by Sushil Borde, Head of the Reliance Innovation Leadership Center. It underscored the growing relevance of science-led innovation in shaping India’s future.
Frugal Innovation with Global Relevance
In his latest work, Dr. Mashelkar compellingly articulates how frugal, inclusive, and sustainable innovation can help nations and organisations achieve disproportionate impact despite limited resources. The book draws on powerful real-world examples to show how constraints can act as catalysts for creativity. This message is especially resonant for emerging economies such as India.
Science-Led, Purpose-Driven Progress
“The ‘More from Less for More’” conveys a clear and urgent message: science must drive long-term progress, guided by purpose and aligned with societal good. The book positions innovation not merely as a commercial imperative, but as a strategic tool for inclusive and sustainable development.
A Must-Read for Industry and Innovation Leaders
Innovation professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders widely regard the book as timely and thought-provoking. They highly recommend it for embedding sustainability and impact into growth strategies.
Eminent Presence from India’s Manufacturing and Innovation Ecosystem
The event brought together several distinguished leaders from India’s manufacturing, innovation, and business ecosystem, including Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan Prof. M. M. Sharma; Padma Vibhushan Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar; Shri Mukesh Ambani; Jayen Shah; Rajendra Gogri; Nadir Godrej; Rajnikant (Rajju) Shroff; Sandra Shroff; Harsh Mariwala; Shailesh Haribhakti [GCB.D]; Sushil Borde; and Alok Ranjan Tiwari, among many others.
