RE-IMAGINING PEOPLE AND CULTURE
What is innovation?
The ability to see things beyond
the paradigm of success and failure
and relating progress to a larger
cause is innovation
An act of ordinary people that
causes extraordinary
disruption in any field is
innovation
The grass-root movement that
energize the entire group to
move beyond status-quo and
do things that matter and have
higher impact is innovation
But innovation can't be done
in isolation
Innovation is not necessarily
doing something new
Innovation is
> an ability to turn problems into
opportunity
>to create an environment of free thinking
that thrives on great ideas
> to bring people out of their shells and set
them free to dream and pursue it
But we did not know this when we
started 8 years ago
When we started
People advised against it
We went Global anyway
People said start at west
We made products in India
We kept disrupting and
pushing the envelope
We scaled massively
Grew from a handful to
>1000
And suddenly
People
Productivity
People
Productivity
We Stopped Growing
