Welcome to GIST
People look at the 21st century as the Asian century and within that it is seen as
India’s century. Partnering with India is going to be partnering for the future.

The enterprising Global Indian S & T Diaspora has contributed in a major way to
the various streams of Science and Technology. Over 200,000 Indian scientists
and technocrats working outside India form a powerful and rich source of
intellectual wealth.

There is a need to bring together and channelize this “intellectual wealth” and the
valuable knowledge resource that comes with it.

Global Indian Scientists and Technocrats (GIST) forum is a unique knowledge exchange platform for Indian scientists
and technocrats spread within the country and across the world. The forum will facilitate to give a holistic approach
using science & technology for creating definitive path towards sustainable development.
