India’s top patent filers in 2024 reflect a mix of consistent performers and breakout innovators. Sabyasachi Calcutta LLP leads the pack with 1,405 patents, followed closely by Euphoric Innovations, which posted a staggering 409% YoY growth—the highest among the top five. Legacy leaders like TVS, TCS and Hero Motocorp continued to scale their R&D output, while challengers such as JIO and Campus Activewear recorded explosive jumps of 169% and 373% respectively. Most surprising, perhaps, is Silver Lace, whose 4400% spike underscores the potential of quiet disruptors in the IP space.

But behind the headlines, a deeper trend is taking shape—India’s innovation growth is increasingly being driven by young, agile start-ups making bold moves in patenting. Among the top corporate filers, three standouts signal this shift clearly. The table below spotlights these rising players.

Start-up	Founded Year	Patent Count in 2024
Ru-Brama Retail Pvt Ltd	2020	265
Ola Electric Mobility	2017	201
Silver Lace	2017	45

Start-ups may be making waves, but the deep currents of India’s innovation ecosystem still run through its universities. From IIT campuses to state-backed research hubs, academic institutions are no longer just supporting industry—they’re competing alongside it. Their patents are sharper, faster and increasingly market-ready. As labs turn into launchpads, here are the top 10 universities leading India’s patent charge in 2024—and proving that the future is being engineered in lecture halls as much as in boardrooms.

Which Top 10 Universities Are Driving Innovation in India Through Patents in 2024?

University	Patents
Lovely Professional University	2263
Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technology Science	1638
Galgotias University	1545
Chitkara University	1513

India’s universities are no longer just nurturing talent—they’re filing patents at record pace. Lovely Professional University tops the chart with 2,263 patents, followed by Saveetha Institute and Galgotias University, both crossing the 1,500 mark. Institutions like Chitkara, Chandigarh, and Teerthanker Mahaveer are also making bold moves, turning campuses into innovation engines. Even as private universities surge ahead, stalwarts like CSIR and IIT Madras remain strongholds of deep-tech and high-impact research.

However, behind every university breakthrough is a researcher turning vision into invention. The next section profiles the top 25 inventors who are actively shaping India’s patent landscape in 2024—and driving its most important innovations forward.

The inventors may be the driving force—but where exactly are they steering India’s innovation engine? And when we zoom out from the inventors, a bigger picture emerges: what India is choosing to innovate in. From AI to green energy, the country’s 2024 patent trends reveal not just activity, but priority. The next section breaks down the the 10 tech domains that dominated filings this year—and are defining the frontier of India’s innovation journey.

What Technologies Are Driving India’s Patent Activity in 2024?

India’s 2024 patent map reveals a clear shift toward deep-tech and cross-disciplinary innovation. Leading the charge is Chemical Compounds with 172 patents, followed closely by Data Processing—a sign of India’s growing push into AI infrastructure and digital transformation.

Core enablers like Wireless and Digital Communication, along with ICT, continue to anchor filings, while strong activity in Chemical Processes and Material Analysis signals rising interest in green chemistry and advanced manufacturing.

What’s striking is the emergence of Computational Models and Video & Image Recognition—both once niche, now essential in sectors like diagnostics, agri-tech, and autonomous systems.

Taken together, these shifts reflect a maturing innovation economy—restless, wide-angled, and ready for scale. India’s IP landscape in 2024 isn’t powered by one sector or one region; it’s being shaped by a collective national appetite for progress. With start-ups scaling up, universities stepping forward, and inventors pushing boundaries across deep tech, life sciences, and digital infrastructure, innovation is no longer the exception—it’s the expectation.
