India has the opportunity to be a leader in genetic engineering, It has institutions that no other country has.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Bioscience and biotech offer many opportunities. The U.S. focuses on the rich man; India has rich man diseases and poor man diseases. So you have a much larger set of opportunities.
Indians have very good engineering capabilities, and that is why, if an industry focuses on innovation, you will have a far greater chance of success, rather than the model which is based on just being a production machine.
India has long been an exporter of talent to tech companies... But it is India that's now undergoing its own revolution.
We look at the number of engineers coming out of India; we look at the growth of the economy, and it's clear that India is a place we want to be.
I think the ethics and morals of genetic engineering are very complicated. It intrigues me.
As a traditionally risk-averse nation, India has rarely been at the forefront of innovation. Indian companies have mostly imitated others and became very good at it.
If there is a Nobel prize for dirt and filth, India will win it, no doubt.
The rich agricultural nations are the ones that can adapt to the new biotechnologies.
India, in particular, is looking to develop nuclear power for domestic, commercial use, and we should work with them. This is a good deal for both countries.
India does not need to become anything else. India must become only India. This is a country that once upon a time was called the golden bird.
