Google Tech Talks March 12, 2009 ABSTRACT "Billions of Entrepreneurs: How China and India are Reshaping Their Futures and Yours" Removing half a billion people from poverty and into the productive workforce will profoundly affect on the world economy. India and China are doing just that with insane growth rates and lots of what used to be American jobs: China is the factory floor and India the back-office, software shop. China is top-down party driven. India is a messy, vibrant democracy. This may be the complementary duo that changes the world. Including your world. Come hear Professor Tarun Khanna in a discussion about his book, Billions of Entrepreneurs: How China and India are Reshaping Their Futures and Yours. Called well worth reading by The Economist and entertaining by the Financial Times, Khanna's book shows how Chinese and Indian entrepreneurs are creating change through new business models. Speaker: Tarun Khanna Tarun Khanna is the Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor at the Harvard Business School, where he has studied and worked with multinational and indigenous companies and investors in emerging markets worldwide. He joined the faculty in 1993, after obtaining an engineering degree from Princeton University (1988) and a Ph.D. from Harvard (1993), and an interim stint on Wall Street. During this time, he has served as the head of several courses on strategy and international business targeted to MBA students and senior executives at Harvard. His new book, Billions of Entrepreneurs: How China and India are Reshaping Their Futures and Yours, was published in February 2008 by Harvard Business School Press (Penguin in South Asia), with translations into several languages underway. It focuses on the drivers of entrepreneurship in China and India and builds on over a decade of work with companies, investors and non-profits in developing countries worldwide. His scholarly work has been published in a range of economics and management journals, several of which he also serves in an editorial capacity. Articles in the Harvard Business Review (e.g. China + India: The Power of Two, 2007; Emerging Giants: Building World Class Companies in Emerging Markets, 2006) and Foreign Policy (e.g. Can India Overtake China?, 2003) distill the implications of this research for practicing managers. His work is frequently featured in global news magazines as well as on TV and radio. He serves on the boards and advisory boards of several companies in the financial services, automotive, life sciences and agribusiness sectors. He actively invests in and mentors startups in Asia, and volunteers time with non-profits in India, e.g. the Parliamentary Research Services in New Delhi, which seeks to provide non-partisan research input to Indias Members of Parliament in advance of legislative sessions with a view to enhancing the quality of democratic discourse. In 2007, he was nominated to be a Young Global Leader (under 40) by the World Economic Forum. He makes his home in Newton, MA, with his wife, daughter and son.

Nice lecture
-
so far, at 9:55 in the timeline, I'm thinking...this guy is an elitist asshole who doesn't care about people. where do you want to "move" the bulldozed fishermen, to? and where would you like your fish to come from??
-
So this gentleman's idea to help emerging markets is to become the largest loan shark to the poor in India and China? He is well aware he will make indentured servants out of the "untouchables". FYI emerging markets is a thinly veiled code word for a poor country that has great potential to be financial exploited.

I agree, India is messy, dirty but free, China is a HUGE police state, you can't even stand near important buildings without have the cops drive you away, CCP will sacrifice the rural poor to stay in power, China will kick out slums, execute land owners, prostitutes or drug addicts in the name of a better society, ruthless, and paranoid
-
Tarun...Mumbai belongs to those fishermen & not people who live in high rise ...so, people who believe in throwing them out should be thrown out.
-
Bull shit discussion....! Tarun might be good at Economics.. but his knowledge on India is very poor... he looks at India from skyscrapers and board rooms and hence his lopsided view... Political/economic analysts in regional IndiaN TV MUCH BETTER
-
The next century China, japan and india are gonna fuck the world
-
But, Pakistan cannot be blame for that..Pakistan is a Musilim Nation..where as a India opted Secularism..Being Secular country there is no question in discussing about the statistics....One more thing is that we are ruled majorly by one party since Independence which plays vote bank politics and gives undue support to muslims...
-
i do not understand all these econ shits can someone translate?
-
lolzz very funny video to accept..just got lot of stupid viewers..
-
Amazing insight. However,we should stop comparing countries like China, India and USA. Every country has its own culture and history and has to find solutions for its own problems. Of course, we can learn from each other. The opportunity in microfinancing in India and other developing countries stems from the fact that money lenders charge 20-30% per month and 20-30% interest rate per annum for hard-working people is like a Christmas or Diwali gift! We should also celebrate China's success!

I am not impressed with GDP growth or skyscrapers. I look at Human Developmental Index (HDI) that tells me whether the gains of growth are reaching the poorest. China and India both are poorly placed. As per 2011 figures, China is at 101th while India is at 134th place. China has meritocracy in its governance despite the fact that there is limited personal freedom there. India seems to have a chaotic democracy with a lot of freedom with little responsibility. Indian rulers are very corrupt.

@stephentsang2000 usa wasnt a colony like india .quite different in the origin, organisation and treatment . if it was a religio
-
Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and even USA were colonies. Colonialism is a pretext. It's religion.
-
No. Colonialism has made them poor. Until 1700 AD there were nothing like hunger or famine in India. But it was the new economy and free trade made hindus and Muslims poorer. It was also the colonial malpractices of Divide and rule that developed communal and regional conflicts. be it India Pakistan, Bangladesh or Israel Palestine, Sudan Darfur, Sierra Leon, somalia or in south america it was colonial powers who created divides and conflicts.
-
Yes, and one more fact, China and India were the biggest economy until the Britishers invaded, who is to be blamed, just be thankful we are not taking revenge which muslims countries are taking from you. Why the European Union is going down, coz they can't colonize anymore (their way of progress, bloody looters). :p
-
Peace or not, there is one thing in common. Both Muslims and Hindus are poor.
-
they actually sell a book
-
I wish Indian people such as Tarun Khanna would stop lumping China with India. They are extremely different on myriad levels. If Tarun wants to brag about India, just talk about India. No need to mention China. Nobody in China will feel one bit slighted for the non-mention.
-
Chinese won't last longer - India will have the last laugh...
