In the Vanguard of Change
Shri Vipin Tyagi, Executive Director, C-DOT talks about the current state of Telecom in India and the “tectonic shift” for an R&D organization like C-DOT in his latest interview published in the tele.net magazine. He speaks about how keen he is to keep India as the vanguard of all the changes in Telecom R&D by focusing on research and intellectual property creation which could ultimately help in bringing out world-class telecom products from India.
