The awards were given by the Technology Development Board (TDB), a statutory body of Government of India functioning under Department of Science of Technology for the year 2021-22. The winners were selected from a total 390 applications after thorough examination by eminent technologists and a stringent two-tier evaluation process. The winners have been selected under the categories --Indigenous Technologies, MSME, Startups, and Women Scientists in Translational Research and Women Entrepreneurs. Dr S. Chandrasekhar, Secretary, DST and Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, IP&TAFS, Secretary TDB were Guests of Honours.

“These awards conferred to various industries provides a platform of recognition to Indian industries and their technology provider, who have worked as a team, to bring innovation to the market and contributed to the vision of “Aatma Nirbhar Bharat”," said Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, IP&TAFS, Secretary, Technology Development Board.

‘Supraflex Cruz’ is a Drug Eluting Coronary Stent with features such as low strut thickness (60 microns across all diameters), biodegradable polymer and is offered in many sizes. It is considered to be the “most deliverable” stent (Source: Frost & Sullivan’s report on “Independent Market Report on Vascular Devices Market in Select Geographies” dated August 20, 2021). Deliverability implies high ‘ease of use’ for implanting physicians in deploying a stent into complex arteries. Supraflex Cruz has been implanted in more than 400,000 patients globally as of March 31, 2021.

Congratulating the winners Dr VK Rai, Head of the Scientific Award Conduction Committee and Scientist - 'F' at Technology Development Board said, "This award is the most prestigious award in the field of Science and Technology. I congratulate Sahajanand Medical Technologies Ltd for successful commercialisation of the indigenously developed Supraflex Cruz - Sirolimus Eluting Coronary System, as a recognition of self-reliant India.”
