A Chinese robodog dressed up as indigenous innovation. Students going viral outside the Congress headquarters in 2024, unable to explain the protest they were part of. For Galgotias University, spectacle has a way of recurring.
As does scale. Consider its patents. Between 2017 and 2024, Galgotias University says it filed 2,430 patents. To put that in perspective: IIT Madras – widely regarded as the most research-intensive of the IITs – has filed about 2,550 patent applications since 1975, when it filed its first. In other words, nearly five decades of output from IIT Madras only marginally exceeds what Galgotias claims to have produced in seven years.
