In this episode, Shutapa Paul speaks with Dr. Subhrangshu Sanyal, CEO of IIM Calcutta Innovation Park, about the challenges facing the Indian startup ecosystem and how innovation and entrepreneurship can bridge the urban-rural divide, empower women, and solve grassroots problems.

From success stories in the Northeast to bold experiments in social entrepreneurship, this discussion unpacks what it will take to create a real Viksit Bharat from the ground up.
