Mukherjea: India Lacks Capital for Tech Innovation
Saurabh Mukherjea, an expert, explains why India hasn't created big tech companies like Google or OpenAI.
He says it's because India doesn't have enough money to invent new technology from scratch, which is very expensive.
India is still developing economically, and it's hard to compete with countries that have more money for research.
Instead of inventing new things, India should focus on using the technology that already exists to solve problems in India.
This will help build successful companies.
Saurabh Mukherjea discusses India's lack of tech giants.
India is not yet able to create new global products.
Original IP creation is too expensive for India currently.
India excels at using existing technology.
Focus should be on solving local problems with established IP.
