Why Does Business Innovate
• Business has Zero natural appetite for Innovation• Innovation is driven by problems, crisis and paranoia• Innovation happens when problems meet inventions• Developed markets: Invention led innovation • Emerging markets: Problem led “Frugal Innovation”

Reaching Un-served Markets
• US today: 300 million people with a per capita income of over $47,000. India today: 1.2 billion people with a per capita income of just $1,000. Only 600,000 households earning above Rs 18L or $ 39,130
• In 2050 when India is the largest economy, per capita income would still be only $ 17,000
• Selling to the “Bottom-of-the Pyramid” is not a choice anymore. Not for anyone.
