Two critical areas for the Government -- Infrastructure and education
IT industry can be successful regardless of who the Minister is
Infrastructure development should go beyond Tier-1 cities
In addition to the Government and private enterprise, we need global players in the development of infrastructure
Propping up unviable companies with tax incentives is a wrong move
Predictability of regulations, transparency -- these can attract global investors to India
Does the infrastructure industry require a regulator
Connectivity through road and air influences industry location
There will be pockets in the country that will be the wrong environment for investors
On the comment by Minister, 'Don't set up industry here because there is no power'
We need clarity about SEZ (special economic zone)
Will India rise in the doing business rankings
Entrepreneurs should think big, rather than think of bootstrapping
Productive model of industry-academia interaction, moving from blue-sky research to relevant R and D with a short lead time
Will it help to have a Ministry for Innovation
How can we ensure accountability of the Ministries
This is the first time that capability, confidence and past performance of persons have been matched with the ministry
Will elite institutions of higher learning play a role in policy-making
Does education require better filters or processes -- Example of Maharashtra

First 18 years of IT industry saw growth because we delighted the customers, but now the industry has to move from efficiency to enhancement and transformation
We need to move from IQ-based to EQ-based hiring to get out of groupthink
Is groupthink an issue in the non-IT industries too
IT industry should stop looking to the Government constantly for sops
There are signs that our IT enterprises can go up on the value chain
Among the ills of the investment community are the continual worries about attrition rates and exchange fluctuations
Media coverage during boom and downturn
Macro issues of moving the country to better levels of infrastructure and education, rather than be preoccupied with stimulus for the short and medium term
Better and more timely data can improve the quality of policy making
Is the stock market Sensex an indicator of economy
Funding is a constraint for start-ups, not for established companies
