USA needs startup and invention bcz of their eco system,
if i can get a website up in 3 months for 2lakh rupees, why i need to think about a startup, where i can start business directly

I again tell you apart from the lack of infrastructure which can be overcome there is no dearth of other resources in India…….
a. There is ample talent and manpower availability.
b. There is less cost compared to US to start the startup.

But still India has failed to be an innovative destination.

The reasons are :
1. The Sick culture of India – belief in being a slave rather than a founder. I have worked in service companies so called tech hubs like Infosys , wipro. Managers have personally told me to stop thinking a lot otherwise US clients will stop outsourcing work here.

2.Politics – politics , Politics. A brahmin gets to be the CTO, CEO, Director and manager. Noone else. ……..why?. cause he wasnt born a Brahmin. !.

The end result is there for all to see.

Look where China has progressed in all these years.

I dream of creating something innovative yet useful and during my search to find like minded people on the internet I ended up reading this blog.

If anyone here shares the same feeling and is willing to devote some time of their day in realizing that dream then please feel free to connect with me through my email- v_singh@live.com.

Enterpreneur ship is its very early stages in India.

Current generation (kids of late 70s and early 80s) is very enthusiatic, I have many friends including my self who try to break the old mould and do something new, but please keep in my that we have be fed for 10 years, to study hard, get a job and get married.

A very thought provoking post indeed. When we see many ‘uprisings’ in entrepreneurship – websites, magazines, funds, conferences etc. one might think India is brimming with a dozen of ‘next big things’.

Working as a development manager in a business incubator which is a part of one of the best universities in India. I often come across many ideas from students and faculties. from my interactions with student community (in general), i felt the type of education imparted in our colleges contributes a lot to the ‘less innovative thinking’ among us.

You see, I spotted this post through a software developed two Stanford graduates. Most of us uses an operating system developed by a crazy group of college dropouts. We network online through the software developed by a Harvard undergraduate.

We learned many things in undergraduate studies. but we were so neck deep in academics that we missed the big market of opportunities.

There cannot be true innovation in India unless untill we encourage our engineers/graduates to correlate what they study with what they see.
You will then identify the what is missing or what can be added. Such an ecosystem must evolve around our Universities/Colleges.

I did it and only bcos i am doing ok it doesnt matter otherwise i would have been termed a loser!!

Indians need to know they can…like in Matrix…choose between the Red or Blue Pill…we need a Morpheus brigade !!
