Global IIT gathering to shape future innovation, strengthen ties with India (IANS exclusive)
Washington, Feb 9 (IANS) When thousands of Indian Institute of Technology alumni, entrepreneurs and executives gather in Long Beach, California, next April, the agenda will extend well beyond networking and keynote speeches.
