Innovation Ecosystems and Corporate-Startup Partnerships

YourStory.com, India's largest media tech company for startups, entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and change makers, interviewed me recently on my new book, Gorillas Can Dance: Lessons from Microsoft and Other Corporations on Partnering with Startups.

During the conversation, I shared my views on collaborative innovation, pandemic resilience, and emerging research frontiers. The interview concluded with me sharing a parting message to the startups and corporate innovators:

Keep trying – and use each experience as a stepping stone to improved efforts at corporate-startup collaboration!

I am pleased to be able to share ideas with YourStory.com’s readers given that India has played an important role in my research journey, and many of the examples in the book involve India and Indians in other parts of the world.
