The country should also enable policies that encourage venture capital investments in high technology areas, Paulraj told ET’s Raghu Krishnan on the sidelines of the Synergia Conclave recently. A former Indian Navy officer, he is also actively involved with policy makers to strengthen the country’s technology base.
