My post on India Leadership Network:
India & innovation: Why hasn’t India produced an Apple, Google or Microsoft? By James Williams on India Leadership Network
Great Discussion guys and really glad to see the action!
Well, the advancement in multitude of areas in US didn't happen by accident. There is an environment that nurtures creative thinking; there are umpteen platforms that transformed ideas to actions. .. Slightly digressing from the discussion, I was reading a book(OUTLIERS by Malcolm Gladwell), which elucidates how Bill Gates got umpteen hours of practice on computers by virtue of being where he was (home town, science centre etc) and how kids born in certain year got to be better footballers then ones younger or older to them (by virtue of being exposed to certain rules etc). Likewise ideas in US are in certain environment that automatically give them better atmosphere to be looked at, tried and tested. In India, we are still struggling for basic needs. Yes, we have our own Infosys, Wipro, TCS et al, but largely we are still struggling in few places. We are a patches of excellence phenomenon in terms of infrastructure, education, health care etc etc.. Till such time there is some parity across the country, w will have such gaps between cities and rural areas.
