Synopsis

The Indian economy has undergone multiple shifts since independence: from focusing on agriculture to industry to services. As India stands on the threshold of becoming a developed nation, the thrust is to become an innovation-led economy. The contribution of start-ups is essential to achieve this transformation. Just as a symphony in music brings about the convergence of four distinct movements, each with its own tempo and mood, this book consolidates the various aspects of innovation under four sections. Taken together, they provide a wide-ranging narrative on innovation and the ubiquitous role of start-ups and universities in the commercialisation of innovation.
