India and Its Frugal Startups-Review of BBC's coverage of Startups
Description
We continue a review of material as presented by the BBC. We think it will be useful to compare our coverage of the Innovation and Technology Space with what some of the giants in Media are saying. Here we talk about India's approach with view of capturing lessons that can be used in other third world countries. This episode is a timely conversation when many potentially profitable businesses are struggling to fit into the molds that are created by predominantly by American VC and Angels. This podcast shares the example of a porter, farmer and botanist and tackles questions such as government funding and educational gaps that exist in rural areas and the marginalized populations that should be harnessed to solve the massive employment challenges in our countries.
