No, this article is not really about my Uncle M. It is about the hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs like him who built honest businesses from scratch against all odds, who provide far more jobs than big companies (and possibly take far better care of their employees), and who form the very core of the Indian economy. They are never profiled in the media like our e-startup millennials, and possibly don’t even know what “venture capital" means. Many of them, like my uncle, also export to the developed world, even though they can hardly speak two grammatically correct sentences in English. But these are the people who move our gross domestic product (GDP), who shift our social indicators by skilling millions of people and raising them up the economic ladder.
