Data shows barely 30% of Indian science PhDs return, beta. Ramalingaswami brings back young researchers, VAJRA attracts top global faculty for short visits. But the returnees often miss the ecosystem—consistent funding, fewer administrative labyrinths, and a culture that values long-term inquiry over quick deliverables. My own analysis of grant files in Delhi shows brilliant proposals getting lost for months in "process," a frustration my NGO salary fights too, making me sigh over my chai about how we tie our own hands.
