  More open-minded Indian firms, on the other hand, are redefining IP as “intellectual partnering.” Rather than reinvent the technology wheel in-house, Indian CIOs and CTOs rely on external providers to address most of their firms’ innovation needs, through IP licensing agreements. Take TCS, India’s largest IT service provider. TCS operates the oldest and largest software R&D lab in Asia. Yet, under the visionary leadership of its CTO Ananth Krishnan, TCS is replacing its closed R&D approach with a networked C&D (Connect & Develop) model. As part of its intellectual partnering strategy, TCS now sources more IP from an external innovation network made up of academic labs, startups, and large software vendors.
