Meet Prof. Tapan Parikh, the reluctant social entrepreneur, who wears many hats and was recently selected as the Humanitarian of the year by MIT’s Technology Review magazine.
It was during a three-year stint in India that led Tapan to become an entrepreneur. He created a simple and effective mobile application for a micro finance organization in India. He dubs his foray into entrepreneurship as a reluctant one, but when you talk to him you discover there is nothing reluctant about Tapan. He has a handful of students who are busy with their own social entrepreneurship projects in different parts of the world, including two in India.
Tune in to find out what Tapan has to say about entrepreneurship and India.
In the first episode Tapan talked about the innovative mobile solution called CAM that he developed and deployed in India.
