Our brain needs a real manthan enhancing lateral learning and visual sensibilities. Culturally astute and responsible entrepreneurship needs to be engendered. Our cultural coherence has to balance rapidly evolving notions of who we want to be. Respect for plurality, diversity, and parallel histories offer a more positive mindset to the term tolerance.
India’s future can only be fast-forwarded with an inventive present. As change makers and content creators, we must learn to differentiate between what is derivative and what is original. Self-employed creative professionals must reinvent the concept of enterprise. “
