The "Indian Advantage" is NOT Cheap Labour. It's Frugal Innovation (JUGAAD) & Unmatched Market Insight. 💹 For decades, the world defined the "Indian Advantage" with one simple, outdated idea: cheap labour. We were the world's back office, the cal

I don't fully agree with this. Although I agree with most examples mentioned, remember that with such a big number of STEM graduates each year, our innovation has remained much lower.

I agree with Piyush Goyal ji—deep tech innovation is crucial for India’s future. But consumer startups are also doing great work, benefiting our economy & people. A better way to inspire could be: “There’s huge potential in new tech too!”
