How entrepreneurs are transforming India’s narrative

Firstpost  

The narrative the world sees today is that a nation, plundered ad nauseam in the past, has scripted its own revival Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, and NR Narayan Murthy are but a few names that are part of regular global business conversations. Serving local markets did not need scalability or manufacturing operations and yet scalability was provided through integrating various offerings under an ‘informal guild system’ that insisted on perfection, durability, and craftsmanship. A few of India’s original business families started thinking in terms of large-scale operations to service local and overseas markets, as transportation infrastructure of road and rails fell in place. India’s educated and English-speaking workforce would become our biggest competitive edge when it came to fuelling the wealth-creation engine through entrepreneurship. The “ability of digital technologies” to drive higher operational efficiencies, across all disciplines of business, be it finance, manufacturing, healthcare or consumer applications opened “floodgates of opportunity” for Indian entrepreneurs across every strata of life.
