“Why create a single enterprise worth thousand crores….why not a thousand enterprises worth a single crore ?”…..the defining philosophy of our theory of change for positively transforming the craft sector by creating equitable value across stakeholders.
The key component of the narrative at ‘The Craft Catapult’ Delhi Roundtable Meet yesterday led by Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship‘s Startup Oasis where the dialogue panned ground realities, situations, and concerns over the product- market fit, need for appropriate and timely design intervention, effectively countering competition, particularly from the factory made, artisan and stakeholder incomes, long gestation periods and resultant irregular cash flows, craftspeople motivation and orientations, use of technology to maximize process efficiency, ‘one of a kind’ vs ‘volume’ production
There was plenty of cross-learning and education geared towards evolving an ecosystem for creating, incubating, nurturing and accelerating, ethical, eco-friendly, value-oriented businesses by startups working in the craft environment.
‘Leveraging Private Finance to Scale Urban Service Delivery’ at the CityFix Labs final event in Hyderabad on the 4th. During TheCityFix Labs journey, we realised that there is tremendous interest from all the stakeholders (government, investors, citizens and enterprises) in this topic and also, several unanswered questions. So, as we come to the close of our accelerator, we decided to discuss this very important and intriguing subject with a key subset of the stakeholders – government and investors- you all. For the discussion we will use the simple panel format- I will ask questions, you will answer and hopefully, somewhere along the process we can instigate a thought-provoking debate. We will also try to make it interactive by involving the audience.
