This initiative is inspired by the discussions on the online forum
Objective: The ultimate objective for organizing a series of strategy sessions around the world is to identify an international panel of innovators and thought leaders, who will act as a think tank for inspiring people centered innovation in India and for integrating the creative talent and cultural resources of India with the global economy.
 
India offers a new setting for experimentation and innovation, specifically,
 
India is a hothouse: Indian people are today yearning to improve the quality of their life, by tapping into the best available resources from around the world. At the same time Indian designers want to apply their spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship and cultural sensitivities to explore opportunities in the global economy.
 
India is a laboratory: India offers a perfect setting for exploring the challenges and opportunities of innovating for emerging economies. One can find people living at various stages of adaptation to modern technology and lifestyles in India. The variability of lifestyles in India offers variety of settings for learning to serve the needs of emerging markets. The learning from working with India can benefit organizations that want to explore other emerging markets around the world.
 
India is a crucible: With its own cultural, social and economic complexities and paradoxes, India is a perfect test market for exploring innovative ideas for managing diversity of the world.
 
The strategy session in New York will begin to explore these issues.
