Positioning India as a trusted global scientific partner through frontier research and collaborative ecosystems

Driven by a vision to position India as a global leader in science and innovation, Mr. Tarun Souradeep advocates stronger collaboration between academia, scientific institutions, and industry to build sustainable research ecosystems that accelerate discovery and technological advancement. Currently serving as Director & Professor at Raman Research Institute, he believes that strong scientific ecosystems are built through collaboration, where institutions and communities work together toward a common national vision and shared scientific goals.

“India has extraordinary talent, but talented individuals also need ambitious scientific ecosystems where they can contribute meaningfully. Projects like LIGO-India create exactly that environment. They bring together scientists, engineers, policymakers, industry, and institutions around a shared long-term vision. Equally important, such collaborations establish India as a trusted global scientific partner. Today, science at the frontier is inherently international. No single country advances alone. Through projects like LIGO-India, India demonstrates both scientific capability and institutional maturity, which strengthens our global standing considerably.”
