I think you already have the answer to your question:
Where to innovate? A: Fix the "Garbage filled, car congested, slum infested, and highway deprived neighborhoods" on which 1B people depend on.
Recently, there has been a good rise in innovative projects aiming to help people in different sectors of the country. Given, the size of the country and lack of infrastructure -- these don't get a lot of popularity. But it is interesting to see solid steps of tiny progress.
- chailatte 16y agoWhat they need in India is to get rid of the corrupt government, which keeps stuffing its own pocket with bulk of foreign investment money, and complacency from its population. Looks like rising gas/food prices and shrinking emerging market investments will force the people in India to action anyways.
- wicknicks 16y agoIndia has greater problems than a corrupt government. Being neck deep into religion, ancient caste systems, famines and natural disasters, even a righteous government can't do much. I am personally quite excited with the Indian youth (<25 yrs old). They are making enormous efforts to change things. They are going against social norms, and helping each other, innovating, thinking (which is not common in a country which religion has been the primary solution to everything for 2000 years).
