The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) was founded in 1987 with the aim of promoting and advancing the practice of engineering and technology in the country. INAE has a membership comprising the most distinguished engineers, engineer-scientists and technologists from all branches of engineering, technology and related sciences. Up to 50 fellows from academia, industry and government are elected every year. Election to the academy is only by nomination. Under the rules of the academy the total number of fellows at any time cannot exceed 800.

The activities of INAE include the promotion of science and technology in the country, development of technology policy for the benefit of society, making research grants and funding pilot studies, promoting engineering education and awarding scholarships.

Every year INAE also recognizes 8-12 young engineers under the age of 35 years with the INAE Young Engineer Award. The recipients of this prestigious award are picked after going through a rigorous selection process.
