From Start-up to Ramp-up: Indian Context and Global Insights, published in July 2016,

made a well-nuanced contribution to the much talked about domain of entrepreneurship. This book, India as Global Start-up Hub: Mission with Passion, is a significantly more detailed and insightful analysis of the multiple facets of start-up entrepreneurship in an integrative framework.



The book unravels in its thirteen chapters a unique and phased discussion of Indian

contextual realities and potentialities with global perspectives relevant for India to become a global start-up hub. The book also features twelve case studies that illustrate how founders conceptualised and grew their start-up ideas into successful and sustainable businesses in India.



Through Chapter 14 reserved for the readers, the book encourages the readers to think, express and act on their own ideas, proposals and plans for reinforcing the Indian start-up ecosystem and even to turn into entrepreneurs and start-up founders themselves.
