Abstract
Purpose of the research. In today's context, the industrial revolution is highlighting the challenge of ensuring national development through the development and adoption of new technologies. Formulated in terms of technological sovereignty (TS), this challenge confronts today virtually every state. In seeking a solution, an important factor to consider is the diversity of conditions in which this problem arises, which largely determine the specific paths to achieving TS in each country. The similarity of several parameters of scientific, technological, and industrial development in India and Russia, as well as the management of these processes, crucial for achieving TS, necessitates a specialized analysis of Indian practices to consider when coordinating similar development in our country. This study is aimed at achieving this goal. Conclusions. The study concludes that achieving a CU requires integrative links between the science, development, and innovation sectors involved in the process. When developing and implementing individual stages of a CU strategy, it is important to ensure continuity between them and consider the differences in the ways in which different types of actors engage in scientific, industrial, and innovative activities. Achieving a CU should be assessed not only by its basic functional parameters but also by other essential factors. In addition to competitiveness and sustainability, overcoming structural dependency is crucial for India. The existence of this problem in our country makes this parameter relevant for Russian realities as well.
