Soon, foreign professors began arriving at India's top universities.
Dr. Edward Miller, a renowned physicist from the United States, joined IIT Kharagpur as the head of the Physics Department.
His first lecture was met with eager students, hungry for knowledge.
"You are the future of India's technology," Miller said to the packed lecture hall. "What we do here will shape not just this country but the entire world. The sky isn't the limit, it's only the beginning."
Professor Heinrich Richter, a German expert in materials science, arrived at IIT Madras.
In his inaugural lecture, he told the students, "I have traveled across the world, but I have never seen a country more eager to innovate than India. The possibilities here are endless."
With the influx of foreign professors, India's universities began collaborating with HAL and other defense companies to conduct joint research.
