Opportunities Abound in IndiaAICTE mandatory adoption of ASPP will enable new IEEE opportunities:

Increase IEL penetration New student branches/University Partnership Programs

Demand is increasing for high quality international technical conferences as India focuses on improving the quality of its research

Membership growth and retention– Introduce local India membership benefit programs– Improve section and chapter programs– Member engagement in humanitarian activities

Increasing involvement of Indian government and industry in global standards development Filling gaps in education and workforce development while university education improves

IEEE Challenges in India

India is ramping up for IEEE at a pace faster than IEEE experienced in ChinaLoad balancing IEEE investment in India to maximize influence and impact in India • Developing government relations is complex

and requires a long-term commitment (Standards and Education can lead)

• Increasing IEEE visibility in India requires a unified local public relations program in the spirit of one IEEE

• Increased local support for MGA necessary to grow and sustain membership growth, retention and engagement

• Establishing a local ecosystem for IEEE conferences and events could support more rapid local growth and ensure quality control

Summary

As India builds modern infrastructure, improves education and research, and evolves into a global innovation destination, immense opportunities for IEEE in India will present themselves…In fact, they already are.
