ENT 616: Readings on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Development

This course, aimed at early-stage research scholars at the PhD level, introduces concepts and critical readings in a number of different strands of innovation, technology and entrepreneurship for societal good.


I previously taught the following UG courses:

Arts + Culture: Entrepreneurship, Business & Management:

The aim of this course is to provide students with a good introduction to how to go from a creative idea to start and manage an initiative or organisation in arts + culture. Students will be encouraged to take an idea and create an initiative or organisation during the course. We learn what arts + culture and the creative industries means in India and internationally. We study some main sectors of arts + culture in India and learn about the organisations, funders, intermediaries and policies that make up the arts + culture ecosystem. Using case studies from India, we study different kinds of arts + culture organisations and businesses.

We study the evolution of globalisation and global trade, we look at inequalities across the globe and how colonial history reflects in today’s trade patterns; we delve into how the global economy is impacted by climate change, the COVID- 19 pandemic; and we consider the impact of digitisation.
