About The Programme
Lockheed Martin Corporation, jointly with the
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce 2
and Industry (FICCI) and the IC Institute at
the University of Texas at Austin launched the
India Innovation Growth Programme in March
2007 with the aim of accelerating innovative
Indian technologies in global markets and
bridging the existing gap between the mind
and the market. The programme received a
qualitative boost with the Department of
Science and Technology of the Government of
India and the Indo-US S&T Forum coming on
board to promote entrepreneurship in the
country from November 2009 onwards.
The IIGP has been constantly evolving since its
inception. New components have been added
to the programme process, including the
business development procedure, to make
the program more effective for innovators in
India. The IIGP process can be broadly divided
into three phases, comprising a total of nine
steps. The programme invites applicants from
across India through different means. They
undergo a first screening, in which subject 2
matter experts from the IC Institute of the
University of Texas and FICCI select 110
innovative technologies from a wide range of
sectors such as aeronautics, agriculture,
biotechnology, chemistry, communications,
c o m p u t i n g , d e f e n s e , e l e c t r o n i c s ,
environment, information technology,
manufacturing, marine, materials, medical /
life sciences, nanotechnology, petrochemical,
semiconductors and transportat ion.
Subsequently, technology validation is carried
out for each of the 110 shortlisted
technologies, which leads to the selection of
the top 50 innovative technologies. The
selected applicants are provided advanced
training in technology commercialization
strategies, venture formation, venture
finance, technology marketing, competitive
technical strategies and presentation skills by
experienced faculty members and experts
from the University of Texas through one
week extensive Entrepreneurship Workshop.
During the last phase of the programme, an
international panel of experts finally
announce 30 medal winners from the 50
selected technologies. Thereafter, these
medalists receive professional business 2
development assistance from FICCI and the IC
Institute of the University of Texas. After
joining the programme, Department of
Science and Technology has also begun
awarding cash reward of INR100,000 each for
the top 30 applicants. Business development 2
managers at FICCI and the IC Institute assist
programme winners in commercializing their
technological innovations by helping them
find suitable business partners in India as well
as in global markets.

Detailed IIGP Process
Step 1: Inviting Applications
Step 2: First Screening
Applications are invited from across India
through advertisements in leading daily
newspapers, organizing pan-India road shows in
tier I & II cities, and making presentations to
potential technology companies, innovators,
knowledge centers, incubation centers, etc.
2A joint team from FICCI and the IC Institute
evaluates and scores all the applications received
to select the most appropriate technology
companies on the basis of a number of
predefined parameters (e.g., the development
and patent status of the innovation, funding
required for technology development, etc.). This
screening results in short listing of 110
applications. The screening process involves the
following:
•
•
An in-depth study is carried out for each
application form to understand the
technology, its benefits, its field of
application, commercial potential, etc.
Furthermore, an intellectual property
search is conducted to determine
whether it is possible to obtain patents
for the technology in the future to
augment its commercial value. To
support the innovators/applicants to
secure suitable IP protection for their
technologies, a primary assessment on
the patentability of their technologies is
conducted and recommendations are
shared with them to help them make
informed decisions on drafting and filing
patent applications.
The team course the applications through
an online scoring tools based on the
following parameters:
a. Development status

in agreement with the innovator.
This is followed by industry calls and
visits, and follow-ups with industry
partners to work out an appropriate
business model for the innovator and the
industry partner.
Business engagement agreements are
facilitated according to the terms and
conditions agreed on by the innovator
and the industry partner. A wide range of
support services are provided by FICCI 2and the IC institute to innovators, based
on their needs. Support provided to
various types of innovators include:

Anthem's proprietary genotox platform involves
a simple human cell based tool that provides
vital information that is critical to human health
care. The alarming increase in organ toxicity
following exposure to DNA-damaging agents
(Genotoxins) from several industries such as
cosmetics, textiles, food, chemical and
pharmaceutical industries warrants urgent
measures to detect and subsequently remove
these agents. Anthem has successfully designed,
established and validated a simple, high-
throughput-compatible Human cell based
genotox platform. Three well established sensors
of genotoxicity are coupled to simple
luminescent reporter genes such that the cell
would emit luminescence only when the cell is
exposed to a genotoxic chemical or stimuli.
Signals are then detected by a simple
luminometer. Overall, the screen can
drastically reduce time associated with
screening for genotoxins, reduce or
completely remove animal testing and
provide consistent data critical to human
health.

Technology Description
Adsorbent for used frying oil is an adsorbent
called Rampad for purification and re-use of used
edible oil. Edible oil properties change when the
oil is heated at high temperature for frying food
containing water. The changes could be found in
both physical and chemical properties of the oil.
One apparent change would be polymerization
causing high viscosity. In addition, oi l
characteristics especially flavour, odor and colour
also changes when oil is used for frying several
times. This directly affects food characteristics
and quality of the used frying oil. The technology
enables a two stage system for purification of the
used edible oil. The frying oil samples were
treated with the adsorbent Rampad which is a
binary blend of Rampad A and Rampad B.
According to the innovator, the adsorbent was
found to be an efficient regenerator and
improved the overall quality of the used oil.
Rampad A consists of five components, whereas
Rampad B consists of two components in a fixed
ratio. The mixture was evaluated for its efficiency
in regenerating the used oils in terms of their
effects on the physico-chemical parameters
such as density, viscosity, color, free fatty
acids (FFA), carbonyl value (CV), iodine value
and acid value.
The intellectual property right to this
technology is held by the innovator, Dr.
Padma S. Vankar. The patent for this

Technology Description
Advanced oxidation process using photochemical
oxidation is a physio-chemical process to treat
contaminated water that contains toxic and non-
biodegradable pollutants. The process involves
oxidizing non-biodegradable toxic pollutants to
carbon dioxide and water. The technology has
proven capability to destroy majority of the non-
biodegradable organic pollutants, and bring down
the chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 80 - 95 % in
the treated waste water.
Existing biological treatment processes have failed
in treating non-biodegradable contamination,
which result in high levels of COD residue in
treated waste water. The new technology will be a
useful tool in protecting freshwater bodies like
rivers and lakes that are regularly contaminated by
industrial and other wastes. Unlike the biological
processes, this technology involves physio-
chemical principles, which enable effective
photochemical oxidation. Having characterized
several effluents generated from different
industries, photochemical oxidation has emerged
as a viable and efficient technology for elimination
of organics from water and wastewater streams.
Mr. T. Chandran and the company, Wytewater
Technologies, hold the IP rights for this technology,
patent for which is pending in India. The
technology has been developed on a lab scale and
has undergone pilot plant trials. Currently, the
technology faces competition from similar
technologies like evaporation and catalytic
converters that yield similar results. However, with
increased funding and research, this technology
may be developed for various specific areas of
application.

134 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)
Technology Description
Biological neutralization of alkaline waste water
is a biological process for the treatment of
alkaline water from textile industrial waste
water. Textile waste water is highly alkaline and
acid is used to neutralize the waste water to have
a neutral pH. The acid, when neutralized,
increases the load of total dissolved solids and is
unsafe for workers who neutralize the waste
water. To address the above mentioned
problems, this technology eliminates the use of
acid and exploits the use of bacteria for the
treatment of alkaline water, within the
permissible limits set by the Central Pollution
Control Board (CPCB), in lesser time. Since the
traditional approach involved in neutralization
includes chemicals, the new process is a
biotechnological endeavor to combat industrial
pollution, which ensures environmental
sustainability and worker's safety.
CSIR holds the intellectual property rights for this
technology. It has filed for patent protection in
India and the US, for which the approval is
pending in India and granted in the US. The
technology has been developed as a lab-scale
prototype and has been tested at two textile
waste waters at Nahar Fabrics (near Chandigarh)
and Himathsingka Linens (Bengaluru). CSIR has
received three prospective commercial deals for
this technology from one company based in the
US and two companies based in India.

Technology Description
BOD Biosensor is a device that provides a quick
estimation of biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD)/ pollution load of all kinds of waste water.
The technology is a biological product, which
serves as a specific seeding material to be used
especially in the BOD analysis of pulp and paper
waste water. The pulp and paper industry is a
major contributor to water pollution and
contains 'difficult to degrade' pollutants. This
technology employs specific bacteria, which is
capable of exerting an appropriate BOD for pulp
and paper industrial wastewater and sense
pollutants/ organic compounds present in such
waste water.
While other devices presently available take
nearly three days to determine the BOD of
waste water, the BOD Biosensor does the
same in two hours' time. By determining the
BOD in such a short time span, the device
helps in industrial authorities to monitor and
regulate the quality of waste water before
discharging it into water bodies. The
technology has been tested extensively on all
industrial effluents and has a validation from
Central Pollution Control Board of India. The
technology has been developed at the
Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology
(CSIR), and is IP protected in India, the US,
and South Africa.

Technology Description
BODBEADS is a technology developed at the
Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology, a
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research
(CSIR), laboratory, to serve as a ready-to-use
reference seeding material in BOD analysis. The
technology offers a standard seeding mixture
that is not only clean, economical, and ready to
use, but also gives reproducible results every
time it is used for BOD testing.
BOD analysis conventionally involves collecting
sewage that contains microorganisms. However,
not every sample of sewage contains the same
number and types of microorganisms every time
it is collected. This results in erroneous BOD
results, which can not be reproduced.
Furthermore, the entire process of collecting the
sewage also delays the analysis process. In such a
case, the BODBEADS technology reduces
potential for error and makes the analysis an
easy, clean, and convenient lab test. The
technology will also ensure consistency in BOD
results at both the pollution control and
industrial ends. The BODBEADS technology is
capable of coping with a wide range of substrates
in synthetic samples as well as in industrial
effluents.
Although similar technologies of lower versions
exist in the US and the UK currently, the
BODBEADS technology, available in the form of
immobilized beads, is the improved version in
the global market. This is due to several of its
unique properties like reusability for five times
with the same efficacy and ability to yield results
instantly without the need to collect sewage
samples much before the analysis. A lower
version of the BODBEADS technology has
been accorded validation from Central
Pollution Control Board and has been
included in Bureau of Indian Standards.

Technology Description
The technology involves developing holographic
solar modules for use in high efficiency solar
energy conversion. The technology comprises a
hologram with fringe structures, which diffract
light into a desired angle. Conventional solar cells
have an efficiency of about 15%. However, when
cool concentrated light is coupled with new
generation multijunction cells, the efficiency can
reach up to 40%. The present technology uses
two of the latest developments – high efficiency
multi-junction solar cells and high efficiency
holographic material that together yield
almost 100% diffraction efficiency.
Holographic optical elements (HOEs) have
advantages over the conventional refracting
type optical elements such as lenses and
mirrors as they offer multiple functions such
as light concentration and wavelength
selection. In the current technology, the
d e v e l o p e d h o l o g r a p h i c e l e m e n t
concentrates, spectrally splits, and directs
142 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)
light radiation so that energy is coupled
effectively to high efficiency multi-junction
solar cell. The HOE diffracts away the heat
radiation in the solar spectrum, allowing for
concentrated cool radiation to be tuned to
the spectral response of the multi-junction
cell, and yielding maximum efficiency.
The technology has a potential to double up
the yield of present day solar modules, with
no additional cost. Commercial production of
the proposed solar modules is expected to
improve the efficiency of solar energy
conversion by about two times. The enhanced
yield will help in popularizing solar energy use
and thereby helping in reducing carbon foot-
print. Potential primary customers of this
technology are households, small scale
industries, and governments.

Currently, there are no commercial devices in
the market that can non-intrusively deliver
liquids/suspensions to the desired biological
target. Although the existing drug delivery
methods can be integrated with miniature
endoscopic surgical tools that are routinely
used in the biomedical industry, they have
proven to be very expensive. In this context,
the new device has the potential to
transform the vaccine/drug delivery market.
Furthermore, the new device is capable of
performing multiple jobs and is completely
homegrown with huge cost benefits.
Use of needle-less drug or vaccine delivery
system, if commercialized, has a potential to
stop the spread of AIDS, especially in the
under-developed nations. Additionally, the
present device can be used for insulin
delivery. According to the innovator, the
device could find a potential market when
gene therapy becomes a reality in the next
10 years and this device can be used to
achieve non-invasive targeted delivery of
genes into biological targets.
The device has been developed as a lab-scale
prototype and is currently undergoing animal
trials. A working model of the device is ready
and is currently under evaluation. Various
beneficiaries of this technology include
hospitals, doctors, biological labs involved in
genetic manipulations, and educational
institutes where biotechnology is taught at

objects like bullets, can alter the aerodynamic
features. This smart coating selectively releases
heat at appropriate speeds there by altering the
aerodynamic flow features and consequently
reducing the aerodynamic drag force. The
technology finds specific use in enhancing the
performance of a wide range of space vehicles by
allowing them to traverse longer distance using
the same fuel. This new smart coating is a
passive technique, which does not consume any
energy during flight.
Other methods available in the market, including
spikes, jets, or concentrated energy ahead of the
space vehicle, consume huge energies and have
a lot of practical problems. In contrast, the smart
coating method allows for a novel aerodynamic
flow control, which enables utilizing a wider
range of missiles with the same fuel
consumption.

Company/Institution Website: www.ncl-india.org
Technology Description
The technology is a new titanium based gel
adsorbent and photo catalyst for the separation
of organic dyes from aqueous solution and its
further photo catalytic degradation using solar
light. The gel adsorbs the organic dyes from
aqueous solution and when exposed to solar
radiation, the adsorbed dye gets degraded. The
technology is especially helpful in the
removal of organic dyes and colored
materials from effluents originating from
textile and other industries that generate
colored aqueous effluent.
Alternative solutions present currently in the
market use adsorbents like activated
charcoal, which cause secondary pollution
168 Compendium of Selected Technologies: DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme (2007-12)
and need further treatment. In contrast, the
latest innovation enables an adsorbed dye to
be degraded by photo catalytic degradation,
which does not need further treatment. The
adsorption capacity of the latest technology
is much higher (nearly 20-30 times of its
we ight ) compared to convent iona l
adsorbents. Additionally, the new titanium
based gel adsorbent can be prepared at a low
cost at the site. The adsorbent leaves crystal
clear water that can be reused, once the
organic dyes are removed. The adsorbed dye
can be further photo catalytically degraded
and reused.
The technology has been developed as a lab-
scale prototype and has been tested on
industry effluents in both batch process as
well as continuous processes (5 liters). Semi
pilot scale experiments of the prototype were
(successful as claimed by the innovators), and
the industry is willing to undertake pilot plant
trials.

Technology Description
The technology uses innovative approach to
convert the algae grown in ponds, lakes, oceans
and other water bodies into diesel fuel. In the
industrialized world where the demand for fuel
and energy is constantly resulting in depletion of
fossil fuel reserves, this technology is a notable
approach. Industries like automobiles, railways,
ships, industrial generators and furnaces can now
replace fossil fuels with the fuel derived from
algae.
Lakes and other water bodies are facing
environmental problem on account of growth of
algae and other biomass like water hyacinth. The
technology overcomes the dual menace of fuel
shortage and the contamination of water bodies
by algae. Moreover, the technology helps in
addressing the twin problems of shortage of clean
drinking water and expensive fuels. Algae grown
in lakes pollute the water even though algae is an
excellent de-pollutant for atmospheric emissions.
The importance of the technology is that the
water bodies can be used as sustainable sources
of fuel for the future. The greenhouse
emissions if routed through the water bodies
will increase the growth of algae and the
pollutants in the water from agricultural
fertilizers, biological wastes etc. The high
growth algae can then be used as a source for
generating fuel for energy. Thus, the
technology will act as a catalyst for growth of
rural economies through algae farms, as a
sustainable source of energy for the industry
and agriculture and there will be less
dependence on fossil fuels making even small
countries to achieve economies of scale that
will develop underdeveloped societies.
The primary customers of the technology will
be small enterprises, medium enterprises,
villages, individuals and companies doing aqua
farming for fish etc. The fuel can be sold to the
local industries, refineries, farmers etc. The
technology has already been tested and
demonstrated in Europe and India. The
company in India has a joint venture with a
European company and plans to develop the
algae based fuels for export and is keen to tie

There are many companies in the market, which
promote various devices based on Ultra-Violet
Photocatalytic Oxidation (UV-PCO) coatings.
There exists a wide spread competition for the
concept but this technology has an advantage
over the existing technologies. All the UV-PCO
coatings require some kind of light, either Ultra-
Violet (UV) light or visible light, depending upon
the type of coating used. But the new innovation
works both in visible light and even in the absence
of light. This is because the coating uses nano
technology, a step beyond the photoactive Nano
TiO coatings. Therefore, the technology can be 2
used even in confined places or places where
there is no electricity available and hence no light.
On the other hand, the approach that uses light as
a source of energy cannot function in dark spaces.
Furthermore, the technology can be applied to all
substrates like metals, glass, paper, wood,
ceramics, plastic etc. making it readily acceptable.
Also, the technology uses a unique primer as
binder that gives it longer life.
Another advantage that this technology has over
other similar technologies is that it doesn't use
particulate filters, electrostatic precipitators,
chemical reagents, absorbants, zeolites, catalytic
converters etc. therefore reducing the subsequent
disposal problem. Also, the operating cost for the
technology is very low because the coatings are
non-consumable and does not require energy. For
example: in case of industrial chimneys, the
purpose of pollution control devices is to
convert the noxious emissions into harmless
gases when released into atmosphere. To
achieve this industries use chemical reagents
etc. while the new technology is a coating
inside the chimney which gets activated by the
ingredients in the chimney gases and
continues to convert the pollutants into oxides
which are not detrimental to atmosphere.

Technology Description
Development of new high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel sheets focuses on manufacturing high strength steel sheets to keep the weight of the floating bridge to a minimum and at the same time be able to carry high load. The fabrication of the mid and shore pontoons requires structural steel sheets of very high strength with yield strength of 500 - 550 MPa and thickness of 2 mm & 3 mm and this technology addresses the problem. These can be used for transport of vehicles, equipments and personnel across the water obstacles and marshy grounds.
The steel sheet is a standalone product in the market as it uses the thermo mechanical controller processing (TMCP) approach that is not used by any other HSLA manufacturers. This is because of the presence of the micro-alloying elements in these steels which make it amenable to thermo mechanical processing. The product is expected to prove beneficial for the army and defense, mining & construction equipment manufacturing companies. Moreover, these sheets have greater resistance against atmospheric c o r r o s i o n , t o u g h n e s s a g a i n s t l o w temperatures, and can be welded easily.

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is a concrete
material that contains fibrous material which
increases structural integrity. It is used in concrete
to provide strength, durability and ductility to the
structure. It was primarily innovated to be used in
construction business to improve strength of
beams that could facilitate extra load. Its usability
extends from earthquake prone regions to
rehabilitating a bridge. The technology was
innovated to be used when the beam wasn't able
to carry the desired load due to poor
workmanship. Furthermore, the technology helps
in rehabilitating a structure rather than
demolishing it and building a new one. Also,
the structures built using the FRC are more
durable and ductile than the one built without
it because of its corrosion free property.

Technology Description
Low cost grey and waste water recycling provides a process for the treatment of domestic grey water, effluent water, sewers and water bodies like lakes, wells, canals and contaminated water from rivers using a simple and economic technique to recycle and re-use water at the point of origin. This technology consists of specialty chemical treatment that recycles waste water at domestic level and converts the same to almost potable quality with minimum chemical and power usage. The treated water removes bacteria, turbidity, color and other contaminants, organic matter, oil and grease. After treatment, the water becomes clear and pure for reuse in domestic, horticulture or agricultural purposes. The system is capable of purifying industrial effluents to disposable quality and converts the water that is re-usable. The industrial water usage, thus, can be reduced as the industry will have the choice to clean its effluent water to re-usable quality. This method does not use expensive equipments and yet controls micro-organisms, which could be of help in terms of purification of contaminated rivers, wells etc. This technology is particularly suitable for high rise buildings, rural households, stagnant water
bodies and revival of the dead water bodies. The technology does not require expensive filters, pumps and other equipment and therefore, the cost of recycling is very low and affordable. The technology is undergoing field testing and is ready for commercialization.

The pedal crank assembly facilitates an increase in
effective length of the crank arm. This helps to
produce almost double the torque generated by a
traditional pedal crank in a manually driven
vehicle under the same force. It amplifies the
power output under the same force using
mechanical advantage and therefore, saves
energy. Doubling of torque will give rise to
doubling of output by all manually driven
equipments from the existing level. This
technology can be fitted on a bicycle, rickshaw
and other equipment which are manually driven.
Higher torque can be used to increase the comfort
of driving, increase speed of the vehicle, increase
the amount of load that can be pulled by such

semiconductor wafers is an optical technology
used to characterize silicon wafer substrates and
provides high-resolution surface topography,
used for inspection of wafer and highly polished
lens mirror surfaces. The technology is based on
the measurement of each pixel intensity values
of a successive reflected pattern as a sequence in
time (Time multiplexing) with successive
projection of different sets of patterns on to
the object of interest. Reflected pattern
image carries the information of surface
topography of the object in the form of
deformed image. The height variations of the
object cause phase difference of light and
hence the variation of intensity counts on
each pixel. The technology has been
developed as a concept.

Technology Description
Gold tracking using radio-frequency identification
(RFID) technology can be used to monitor and
track the movement of gold items within an
outlet. The conventional system uses bar codes
where each piece of gold is individually tagged
and scanned. The system takes a lot of time and
cannot be monitored or tracked for motion within
a shop unlike an RFID Gold Tracking System. Using
active RFID tags which send out a radio frequency
signal within a given range, the time required for
the tagging and scanning of gold items within an
outlet can be brought down significantly. Further,
this can help the retailers to make the system
within the outlet more secure and intelligent
thereby cutting costs and improving efficiency.
The gold tracking technology is based on I-
Motion platform which is a protected by US
patents. The IP of the product developed on I-
Motion platform (Gold Tracking) is owned by

Technology Description
The technology revenue through advertisements
for the GSM enterprise (RAGe) is a method to
deliver mobile advertisements, and potentially
other information content, to mobile phone users,
by utilizing the dead-time between when a mobile
phone call is placed and when it is connected.
RAGe would utilize this brief dead-time to send
advertising or other content to the calling party
while the call is being connected across the
Mobile Service Provider's (MSP) network. When
the call is connected, the advertisement would be
broadcast to the calling party. In this way, a
revenue generating opportunity could be derived
from the previously un-used dead-time.
RAGe guarantees delivering the fastest return
o n o p e ra t o r s ' i n v e s t m e n t s t h r o u g h
advertisements. By using the connecting time
(minimum of 5 seconds), which is the time
taken for the actual connection to be
established between the caller and the receiver,
the RAGe technology utilizes this dead time to
advertise to consumers. The advertisements
would be initially voice, text and images, which
would mature to graphics with the transition of
technology to 3.5G when available.
