Tata Headquarters - nursing innovations

The Tata Group has announced a 15-fold increase in innovations by Tata companies over 10 years of Tata InnoVista.

The Tata InnoVista is a group-wide programme, held annually by the Tata Group Innovation Forum (TGIF) to encourage, recognise and showcase outstanding innovations done by Tata companies. Started in 2006, Tata InnoVista has become an indicator of the success of the innovation drive in the Tata group — and of the inherent capabilities of its people.

Tata InnoVista 2015 received 1,580 projects under the Promising Innovations category as compared to 101 in 2006, signifying a 15-fold increase. The Promising Innovations category recognises innovations that have been successfully implemented during the year.

Out of these 1,580 projects received, the top 60 innovations are expected to deliver an estimated financial benefit of $1.1billion annually and are likely to touch the lives of 35 million people, globally, over a five-year period.
