Xerox Research Centre India (XRCI) has been honoured with the Zinnov award in the category of Ecosystem Enablement - Universities. This award is given to companies that have contributed significantly to the overall research and development ecosystem in India. Award nominees were judged on five key areas: objectives, breadth and depth of relationships, innovative collaboration mechanisms, investment and metrics. An independent jury selected Xerox taking into account the many new research projects, grants and patents undertaken between Xerox and leading universities across India.
"The success and the commercial viability of this healthcare sensing research project will have great implications for the future of healthcare not just in India but across the globe. It is an honour to have this and other Xerox’s initiatives in the field of open innovation and collaborative researches recognized," said Manish Gupta, Vice-President & Director, XRCI.
"We are pleased to recognize Xerox's efforts to collaborate with the university ecosystem in India to drive research projects. Solving large-scale problems faced by the world today require significant investments into research. Xerox through its efforts in partnering with universities is leading by example for the rest of industry to emulate," said Pari Natarajan, Co-Founder & CEO, Zinnov Management Consulting.
XRCI currently is working closely with a number of universities and academic institutes including Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and Bombay, Manipal University, St John’s Medical College, Sai Vidya Institute of Technology (SVIT) and several others.
