Announcing Entrepreneurship Week India supported by the Wadhwani Foundation and run by the National Entrepreneurship Network.
Wadhwani joined the billion-dollar club in 1999, when he sold a venture for $9.3 bn to i2 Technologies.
Romesh Wadhwani, founder of the Symphony Technology Group and the Wadhwani Foundation, which promotes the National Entrepreneurship Network, says our best scientists and researchers do not do their research in India because of the many obstacles they face; from the lack of focus on research to lack of equipment and supplies.
On the back of a global meltdown, big-ticket firms may not be flocking at the premier Indian Institute of Technology campuses. IITians, however, have not lost all hope. Many are looking at start-ups for their first jobs.
