This is the first time I am going through this blog...this is very interesting...Paradox of Innovation is a nice topic to discussion...I believe innovation is within an individual - a mental trait that need to be cultivated...we the Indians can think a lot...but not ready to implement that…And that is why it is not known to most of the people but we really can think...yes of course risk appetite is big question here why we are not implementation? Whats the factor? Is it a fare of failure? Yes to some extent. It is due to that only. Our socio-economical condition made us little stubble...ours energy is put into the consideration how we will manage home load that we have taken, car loan etc....never got much thought how to start a new venture...which is quite risky...first start and then do it in an innovative way...so no of evidence is really less....so it is not that much visible...we are not so encouraged to start a new venture or even to join a company which is not so big!

A very good perspective!

I think the reality is that India lacks innovation. And the question is can we Indians do that? Absolutey!! Just look at the stats on the most innovative companies in silicon valley, and you will find that the good percentage of them are being headed by Indians! I think it's all about society and culture. As a society, India is conservative, not aggressive and not risk taking at all.. all the traits opposite for innovation to exist.

The attitude exists in the society and not in the people... I was heading the software development center for an innovative startup in India, and we were having tough time hiring people because we were very small. People prefer security of big brand companies rather than taking risk with smaller companies. This is only one of the example, but the point is that very few people in India are risk takers which is such an essential ingredient for innovation.

Inriguing perspective and an interesting read.

My own belief is that India Inc. is operationally efficient but strategicall inefficient. And let me explain where I am coming from. Companies in India have an extraordinary ability to maximize efficiency of existing programs and processes. However, when it comes to innovation, we are not ready to invest in the 'next big idea' even though it may result in siginificantly higher rates of return. Why? Will let you know as soon as I find the answer:-) but my sense is that it has something to do with our conservative upbringing and our institution of education.

Something needs to radically change if India Inc is to be the next hub of innovation.
