Company: General Mills India Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai
Institute: CSIR – Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore
Project: A combined computational modeling and experimental approach to investigate the influence of
particulate ingredients on volume and structure development in baked food systems
Funding for this project was provided by both government and industry under the Prime Minister’s
Fellowship Scheme. It is a public-private partnership between Science & Engineering Research Board,
Government of India and Confederation of Indian Industry.
Researcher of this project, who was also the recipient of Prime Minister’s Fellowship, was Ms. Padma

corporate citizenship programmes. Partnerships with civil society organizations carry
forward corporate initiatives for integrated and inclusive development across diverse
domains including affirmative action, healthcare, education, livelihood, diversity
management, skill development, empowerment of women, and water, to name a few.
As a developmental institution working towards India’s overall growth with a special
focus on India@75 in 2022, the CII theme for 2017-18, India@75: Inclusive. Ahead.
Responsible emphasizes Industry’s role in partnering Government to accelerate India’s
growth and development. The focus will be on key enablers such as job creation; skill
development and training; affirmative action; women parity; new models of development;
sustainability; corporate social responsibility, governance and transparency.
With 67 offices, including 9 Centres of Excellence, in India, and 11 overseas offices in
