      <title>Frugal Innovation or is that just ‘Chalta Hai’ (anything goes) innovation?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Dr Shai Vyakarnam discusses the idea of frugal innovation or "jugaad", as it is more commonly described in India and whether it is a frugal mentality focusing on speed of execution sufficient for customer need or it is shoddy completion that attempts to get away with calling itself innovative.]]></description>

      <title>Crossing the 2nd Chasm - the Real Challenge</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Dr Uday Phadke argues that while the UK is outstanding at generating new ideas and innovations and turning them into product and service demonstrators our record turning a proven concept into a product or service with a viable business model, a phase he describes as crossing the 2nd Chasm, has been very poor and he offers a number of recommendations to address this.]]></description>

      <title>It's a different world out here!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This note from a participant of a two-week programme on Entrepreneurship orientation held in Cambridge for Ahmedabad University captures the essence of what may be called the ecosystem of learning. It explores what makes Cambridge work in terms of the spirit of entrepreneurship; linkages between academia, techies and their enterprise; productive networking; openness; collaborations and role of the Cambridge entrepreneurs, in being able and approachable at the same time, enabling  nascent entrepreneurs to get leads and valuable insights for proposed and existing ventures.]]></description>

      <title>Indian entrepreneurs are so lucky!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Compared to young people from a middle-class background in strife-torn regions like Palestine and Macedonia, young Indians have everything to celebrate: size of the market opportunity within India, the freedom to act, general access to safe environments and a legal system all mean that the entrepreneurially minded in India can think big and act big.]]></description>

      <title>Entrepreneurs - Are they born or made?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This question implies that the questioner has not thought much about the question itself because he or she already has the answer to hand.  The nature or nurture debate will go long into the night, but the most important starting point is to recognise that a number of conditions need to be present or created for entrepreneurship to flourish and for entrepreneurs to discover their potential.]]></description>

      <title>Misfortune at the bottom of the Pyramid</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Dr Shai Vyakarnam shares his views on a thought provoking article that suggests that poverty and income distribution is shaped much more like a free vortex, rather than as a pyramid. For entrepreneurs and businesses, this would imply that they need to radically rethink how they innovate by connecting a number of dots such as money, invention and industry.]]></description>

      <title>Entrepreneurship is method, not magic!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Investors, entrepreneurs and policy-makers need to consider the implications of seeing entrepreneurship as a method rather than as a destiny or as magic! It would strengthen incubation processes and result in strong social networks being developed to better assist nascent entrepreneurship.]]></description>

      <title>Can India Develop a Third Way?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Building technology companies is hard work, as most entrepreneurs will testify. The challenges include: technology development, matching technology to market needs, creation of a product or service, finding the right business model, and raising enough money to make all this happen. There are key differences in the building of technology businesses between Europe and the Unites States, and what this might mean for India.]]></description>
