Great teams create great companies. Being trained in entrepreneurship in the U.S. gives one an inherent advantage. But it is imperative to complement this with knowledge transfer, localization of manufacturing and most importantly, an extremely strong local operational expertise to build a winning team.

2: I totally agree that getting a grip on the technology & know-how along with localization will be essential for the long-term. I represent a company whose embedded systems group is into design & development of controllers (hardware/firmware) for alternate energy - wind & solar. We are keenly pursuing design of controllers keeping in mind the localization aspects. It will be good to know about some of the challenges/behaviour of the controllers designed overseas under Indian conditions.

4: I truly agree with the contents of your article. What is necessary is to have good consultants and advisors for small generators who can setup multiple micro - level projects in the rural or semi-urban areas. People do not have clear idea about the cost of projects, ROI and the policies of the government about clean energy, subsidies etc. Educating the entrepreneurs is a must.
