Innovation: Trending Up but needs thrust, especially from the Private Sector 255

8.23 Figure 17 compares India’s performance in its top ranked pillar – KTO w.r.t. the other
largest economies. India performs above expectation for its level of development on KTO pillar,
performing particularly well on the knowledge diffusion sub-pillar. India ranks highest amongst
the top ten economies (GDP current US$) on the knowledge diffusion sub-pillar while it ranks
lowest on the knowledge creation sub-pillar. In comparison, China performs much above
expectation for its level of development on the KTO pillar as well as knowledge creation and
knowledge impact sub-pillars.

8.24 Performance of top ten economies on the creative outputs pillar may be seen in Figure 18.
India performs in line with its level of development on the creative outputs pillar, performing
above expectation on online creativity and creative goods and services. However, India is
ranked second lowest, after Brazil, on the creative output pillar and the intangible assets and
creative goods and services sub-pillars. India ranks second lowest, after China, on the online
creativity sub-pillar. While India performs close to expectation for its level of development on
all three sub-pillars, China performs much higher than expected for its level of development on
the creative outputs pillar and the intangible assets and creative goods and services sub-pillars.
