Vision India 2020

Friends, writing the Vision India 2020 series has been extremely interesting and rewarding. The series is being syndicated by Indian newspaper, DNAIndia, and I keep receiving emails from entrepreneurs who are working on / thinking about ventures along the lines of my Vision India columns. Here are the ones that I have written so far:

Preface, MIT India, Urja, Lucid, Darjeeling, Renaissance, Gangotri, Maya Ray, Elixar, Bioscope, Thakur, and AdiShakti.

Each venture has built-in scalability to become billion dollar enterprises, and I encourage entrepreneurs looking for ideas to work on some of these.

After the first 4 pieces, Preface, MIT India: Engineering Education, Urja: Global Fashion Brand, and Lucid: K-12 Education, here are two new ones:

Darjeeling: A Tea Lounge Brand and Renaissance: A Heritage Holidays Brand.

Hope you enjoy these, and also, do let me know what concepts *you* would like to see explored in the Vision India 2020 series. [Btw, this series is being syndicated by the Indian newspaper, DNA India.]
