The Whereabouts of the Next Big Innovation

We, as a group of human beings, always tend to believe that the best things are lying ahead of us. Whatever has happened was good, the present scenario is not that great, but the future is what will alleviate all our sufferings. With this line of thought, it is only normal for us to think that the next big thing is yet to come up – and I do abide by this. Now, when I talk about the next big ‘thing’, I am referring to an innovation that would not only be disruptive but also inclusive. To add some context to what I am talking about, it would be pertinent to recall how the great Mr Dhirubhai Ambani revolutionized the mobile telecommunication industry in India.

Being Average - Story of a SJMSOM, IIT Bombay Student

I remember an instance during an interview when I was asked that what the defining moment of my life was. I was caught off-guard. Not because I didn’t have an answer to that question. The reason why I was stumped by the question was that I knew I had no such ‘defining moment’, what I didn’t know was how to reply back. After several awkward moments of silence and stares, I managed, “No. I can’t think of anything right now, Sir”. The disappointment on his face showed. Supposedly, such an answer was not commonplace as the interviewer told me that I should have prepared better, and I should know myself better. With a restrained smile I answered, “Sir, I do know what I’m talking about. It isn’t such, that every action I took in my past was guided by motivation. Even so, if you want, then for the sake of answering, I can concoct a story about the same, but it wouldn’t be true”. My interview was over shortly thereafter, and it goes unsaid that I wasn't selected.
