The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas genome editing technology holds great potential in advancing the fields of healthcare, agriculture, and basic biology research. This study uses the national innovation system framework to identify key actors in India�s CRISPR research landscape and their roles in technology development and diffusion. Bibliographic analysis revealed that almost half of Indian CRISPR research publications are review articles or book chapters. Patentscope analysis showed that only 13.7 of CRISPR-related patent applications are attributed to Indian nationals, indicating international dominance. The Indian CRISPR research ecosystem is primarily supported by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. Addressing lack of hands-on learning opportunities, minimal collaboration amongst limited researchers, and absence of dedicated institutes of excellence are crucial to accelerate CRISPR technology innovation in India. We believe these inferences can be extrapolated to other developing countries that spend a similar percentage of their gross domestic product on biotechnology research. © (2024), (Indian Academy of Sciences).
