Four organisations including NIPER and Dr. Reddy's have been named as India’s most innovative and the winners of the Thomson Reuters Innovation Award 2011 which is being hosted in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) for the second year running.
Four awards were presented across four different industrial sectors: Pharma Corporate, Pharma Academic & Government, Hi-Tech Corporate and Hi-Tech Academic & Government.
The following award recipients were recognized for their distinguished achievements through patented technology as recorded in data from Thomson Innovation®, the Thomson Reuters IP intelligence and collaboration platform.
-- Hi-Tech Corporate: Tata Steel Limited
-- Hi-Tech - Academic & Government: Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO)
-- Pharma Corporate: Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited
-- Pharma - Academic & Government: National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education & Research (NIPER)
The four Award recipients were selected based on research and analysis using Thomson Reuters Derwent World Patents Index®, Derwent Patent Citations Index™ and Thomson Innovation®.. The 2011 Award recipients are decided by analysing their innovation through patented technology as recorded in Thomson Reuters patent information services.
Criteria for the 2011 Award include the number of Basic Inventions each organisation published from 2009-2010; its ratio of granted patents to Basic Inventions; the global reach of the portfolio (protecting an invention in major world markets is an indication that an organization places a significant value on those pieces of their intellectual property); and the overall influence of the portfolio as determined by international citations of its research.
First established in 2008, the Thomson Reuters Innovation Award continues to recognise the most innovative academic institutions and commercial enterprises headquartered in India for their spirit of innovation in Research & Development (R&D).

Said Prof. K. K. Bhutani, Director of NIPER, award recipient in the Pharma-Academic & Government category, “Innovation in science and technology is the key to delivering the benefits of progress to every citizen. As a partner in India’s healthcare delivery system, NIPER has introduced the concept of central testing laboratories in the Institute by bringing together chemists, biologists and pharmacists on a common platform. The aim is to harvest the fruits of research in academia and share expertise with the pharmaceutical industry so as to strengthen drug discovery and development. The scientific tools offered by Thomson Reuters have played a major role in meeting this challenge. A quantum leap in the number of patents and publications from a young Institute like NIPER is an indication of the dedication of our staff and students. I am really happy to know that Thomson Reuters has recognized this achievement. This appreciation reinforces our commitment and provides us with an international platform to showcase our accomplishments.”
