Abstract: This talk is based on the author’s recently published book Chasing Innovation: Making Entrepreneurial Citizens in Modern India (Princeton University Press, 2019) which explains the history and politics of rendering development as a call to entrepreneurship, and the pull and contradictions of this call to sort a nation into innovators and their others.
