Tata Corporate Leadership Award, an exclusive honour reserved for Indian Corporates.

He understands the pains of poverty.Mashelkar valiantly fought and revoked the wrong US patents on turmeric and Basmati rice based on India’s traditional knowledge. But to US multinationals, he licensed patents based on modern knowledge of Indian laboratories, pioneering the trend of reverse transfer of technology.He is a Director on boards of India’s leading companies, from Tatas to Reliance. 28 global universities have bestowed honorary doctorates upon him. The Government’s trust in him shows through the twelve high-powered Mashelkar Committees, many of them on contentious issues.
