Innovation stands for the introduction of noble things, ideas or ways of doing something that has been introduced systematically or discovered randomly. Infact, innovations are experiment that emerged out from the cognitive order of its progenitor and at best reflect an ideal situation possible through its meticulous execution in a proper given set of order albeit lot of peoples afraid to be in touch with such propositions as they believed it a shaky hypothesis which refrain them for an experimental upswing.
Indeed getting away from innovation poses far reaching adverse impact upon that system or organization concerned which not only cause for their lagging behind in productive features rather it push back the soul of business to extreme low which proves alarmingly negative in longer course. So, in no circumstances, innovations have any alternative and possibly any way out to improve the efficiency at individual or corporate level come through redressing the blockade components of innovation.
It requires thriving and striving to trace out some common phobias about the appropriation of innovations in existing order of a set up…amazingly its very simple as most of the negative perception generated by the complicated yet popular beliefs.
At primary level-fear of change, cost involve in execution of new ideas, deficient awareness, non existence of handimanship qualities are foremost as these four seems most inherent in most of cases. At secondary level-poor leadership, gap between top &bottom up thinking, dismal flow of information and bureaucracy (both government and corporate) further heighten this insecurity to the peak level; this level is out-rightly damaging as it deals with all the crucial affairs of administration.
Eventually at tertiary level-feeble appreciation and low response for final outcome added the grief of a potential innovator; unfortunately these possible chances makes a potential innovator disdainful to enter in the fray as they see very low incentives ahead in their venture.
Obstacles are numerous nevertheless it wouldn’t be virtuous for anyone to completely loose their heart before heading-on with the real situation in their own best meticulous capacity; a systematic resonance could upfront with the many oddities if it pragmatically infused in an order, so, those positive mindsets finally reached to the triumph at the end of day as they would always poised to do things in true spirits to attain the level of innovation in their venture.
Now the perceptions are slightly being improved to accommodate innovations in existing order since the many big daddies of corporates and governments of rapidly growing economies of the world necessitates about the viability of constructive change that is positive sign indeed; at last there may be hope all around that each these slow rate of drops would improve the water level of bucket besides enthusing the peoples from all strata to march for innovative practices in their area of specializations.
A change irrespective of its volume matters because it creates sense to visualize the things in different perspectives…among the wish list, validation of alternative ideas and capacity would be on the crest as many chronic monotonous conceptions would be washed away in the perennial floods of innovations. Like Rancho of 3Idiots, a man can pass through the process of metamorphosis…being an idiot to the long-lasting hero of masses…indeed Rancho is right in saying” follow your dreams…success would accompanied it”.

Must Innovate but Cautiously
Recently I have attended many events on entrepreneurial innovations including last one at FICCI (8th September, New Delhi); the theme of conference was Making India an Innovation Hub, which was quite noble from the perspective of spurting faith in entrepreneurial potential in the country. Indeed innovation is imperative in every domain in life since it has creative bearings over a potential target, so it’s a sort of energy that’s capable to harness the skills along with imparting conduce ground for entrepreneurship.
Without even a bit of hassle it could be said that presently Indian business seems badly thirsty for the drops of innovation; India being a billion plus size country with its sub-Saharan infrastructure erstwhile remained focused on conservative and cumbersome path of development which normally came out with many depressive impediments.
Choosing the path of mixed economy, Indian economy have been consistently coping up with ideological fractions in political- economic circle that caused for its sluggish development until ushering into phase of liberalization in early nineties, somehow in compelled situation.Crux of the matter is either Socialism or Capitalism let allowed a national economy to grow in its fundamental fervors unlike the Indian experiment with mixed economy which with many languishing political decisions remained standing in bizarre situation.
Any way it doesn’t mean to say that concept of mixed economy was proven failure in Indian circumstances instead its maligned political handling that undermine the potential growth of Public sector enterprises which further dampen the socialistic temptations of economy.
Despite such frills some Public sectors enterprise have proved their worth; performances of Public sectors banks including Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) could be counted in these lists as they more or less remains unaffected through global financial crisis. Here it may takes into long introspection that how these banks remain unaffected?
But a simple answer could be that these banks were less integrated with the fluctuating global businesses albeit it wasn’t an innovation or any counter of such propositions; it was merely an act of inaction regarding the myopic financial routes like hedge funds and other derivatives product that finally saved them from losses. Sometimes inaction is better than action as in this case but that approach shouldn’t be germed in minds for all actions.
Some time back,United Kingdom released the Turner’s review report on financial meltdown which lay out the main themes behind the acute financial failures in western countries.As per the report that mechanized experiments in the name of innovation and blind move for creating bigger entities was the major cause of failures for financial sector players in Europe and U.S.A. Joseph Stiglitz expressed similar contention that bigger entities needs bigger supervision and regulation without having such backups sometimes makes business vulnerable for failure; of course efficiency maters more than the giant sizes of a business entities in most of conditions.
A true innovation can be panache for empowerment of its practitioners besides fuelling growth in productive activities; there are many subtle experiments in our daily life that deserves more proper consideration for its institutional and professional advancement from the respective policy makers.
Persons like Prof. Anil Gupta (IIMA, National Innovation Foundation, SRISTI and Honey Bee Network)is doing exemplary jobs to conserve and retrieve the extinct traditional knowledge and infuse lease for curious observations from bottom of pyramids. Campaign like Universal Financial Access (UFA) evangelizing by eminent banker Mr. Sanjaya Bhargava and others like minded peoples for attaining the goal of complete financial inclusion in early next decades, its theme (Billions through innovations) presents a sanguine picture for innovation that reflect the rosy outcomes of innovative thoughts.
It’s quite alluring to feel that Mr. Sanjaya Bhargava has entered in such arena after leaving his phenomenal stint in City bank where he heading for corporate charges that have very few similarity with such grass rooted and non-profit movement; he is a man of focus and he deserves applauds for such though innovation.
Mr. Mahendra Pratap is next name (President, iMFAST and co-founder NCR Tech Group) in this series; he is similarly the doyen of innovation who relentlessly keeps striving for technological innovation in Indian financial sector with motives to spread its easy reach to the common masses. Spreading of ATM network including with some bio-metric applications, electronic payment to workers of NREGA, door banking, mobile banking,24@7 banking etc are some outcomes of meticulous innovation that maximizing faith in financial inclusion movement.
Innovative ideas in thoughts, services and action are very essential for encouraging and rationalizing socio- psychological perceptions and its development among the all age groups since innovation hardly need any specific age to materialize. Like many other positive ideas, an innovative proposition also requires some rudimentary cautiousness that must be followed to avoid any future chaos; what we have witnessed through financial sector failures in U.S.A and all over the world. Positive restraint would even enhance the capability of an innovation… we must deliberate under our own imposed disciplines that would further take us into an ethical level playing field.
