As noted elsewhere in this series, India's rapid economic growth is intrinsically intertwined with the dramatic rise of its ecosystem for supporting innovation and entrepreneurship. However, there are huge differences among different states and cities within India in regard to institutional dynamics and practices within this ecosystem, as well as in the overall stage of economic development. In this seminar, Dr. Kapoor will discuss subnational variation in India's innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem and also the impact of such regional differences on India's emerging global role in innovation.
