Subject: Submission of article: Industry, Innovation and Indigenisation

Dear Sir,
With a great pleasure, I take this opportunity to write to you who has cleared my
thought processes, removed jargons from my mind and prepare me to carry a vision to
build a better society. I have been a regular reader of your books on oil, geopolitics,
strategic vision, world tours, politicians, criticisms and predictions that you and your
teammates are penning down across the media.

After passing out from IIT and spending 13 years in profession with a vision
imparted by my mentors, I am felling blessed to get a sweet and bitter learning with
contended life and now I am deploying these learnings to execute and preparing the
next level leadership to carry same thought process. I am executing these tasks through
a start-up, Hexagon Dynamics, wherein we work with industry, scientists, defence,
strategic thinkers and educational institutes to create an ecosystem on various aspects
of indigenisation and technology development. Our diverse journey is full of successes
and failures and has more practical touch. With this background, I would like to pen it
down somewhere to raise the concerns at least for the benefit of people who think that
their approach can make the difference.

Majorly, I would like to focus on requirement in paradigm shift in policy where

industry, productivity, execution, innovation and execution will have strategic importance.
I don’t know whether this article carries a vision and importance for readers, but we feel
that it is so imperative as on today and can be improved for a better society for all of us.

Please do publish on a right platform. In case you feel that the thought process
requires more correction then do comment. Anyway, it will get more matured over the
period of time since I keep following you and loksatta.

Best wishes for your endeavours in writing and adding wisdom to our life.
Have a nice day…!

Thank You.
