Indian Innovation Awards
India’s First Organizational Innovation Search Process under ‘Mission Innovative India’
EMPI conceptualized and initiated India’s first organizational innovation search process. The Awards-first of its kind in India for accelerating India’s Organizational Innovation Movement, was conceptualized by Mr. Pankaj Saran, President, EMPI Group and Dr. Ashok Jain, Vice-President (Academic Development & Research), in the year 2003, when they felt the need to recognize innovative organizations, that are the real engines of socio-economic growth as distinct from individual inventions. Thus, EMPI identified the missing link i.e. A mechanism that should focally enthuse organizations to do things innovatively. The awards for the first time brought and recognized organizational innovations across diverse sectors in corporate, non-corporate, government and network of organizations in one platform.
The awards are part of the larger ‘MISSION INNOVATIVE INDIA’ which was blessed by the President of India Hon’ble Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, in 2005.
The entire movement also received fillip in the year 2006 when EMPI joined hands with The Indian Express and thereafter the Awards were re-christened as the EMPI-The Indian Express Indian Innovation Awards. Further, the association of the Boston Consulting Group with the Awards in the same year as the Research Partner and Process Validator, further helped in strengthening and giving credibility to the Awards.
As part of the Mission Innovative India Movement, the following
activities were taken up:
Involvement of students and faculty as Innovation Scouts in the search process
Launch of the EMPI journal on interdisciplinary perspectives –‘Innovations’
Dissemination of innovation stories by the media
Introduction of the ‘International India Innovations Programme’ for International faculty, researchers and students.
