India has seen tremendous surge in interest in entrepreneurship. India has seen an equally acute shortage of seed capital to get these entrepreneurs off the ground.

In Seed India, Sramana Mitra analyzes the current state of the Indian eco-system, and proposes ways of navigating the rest of the decade, such that a robust pipeline of entrepreneurs can survive the current malaise, and thrive, while the eco-system develops and matures in parallel.

She offers her analysis of how entrepreneurship may be the answer for women looking for a flexible way of balancing an ambitious career while still raising children. Complex, emotional, intimate, candid perspectives offer a window into the struggles and triumphs of women who have chosen to actualize their talents through entrepreneurship.
