What does the seed industry in India look like today from your vantage point?
The seed industry in India has come a long way since the early sixties.

Today there are more than 400 companies conducting seed business.

The industry is gradually moving towards seeds with improved genetics,
i.e. from OP seeds to hybrids and, very recently, with the approval of genetically modified cotton, to transgenic seeds.
