Solutions needs a discussions of the power structures in the market that enterprises operate; the inherent biases, the cash castes and market entry barriers such as regulatory structures, and cultural politics of entrepreneurial land. Critique is just a trailer. In my work with the civil society in Singapore and India; vested agendas hinder progress more than good intentions. Solution builders are ego neutral, and focus on impact. Solutions have to be Market centric to be long lasting. Activists do not understand the language of the market. Language is an analytical framework itself.

Question for the Activist Sector?
The question i ask activists/social sector professionals usually- What is the alternative to operate in a neoliberal set up. Move beyond the critique although the critique is the starting point of developing solutions and critique is data.
KJo: A bright man
KJo is a very bright man who understands pop culture and the film business. Being a second generation film maker helps for sure, but he is a very hard working man, being on every reality tv show possible, while making movies. His autobiography is one I am waiting to read, as most of his Bollywood peers did not even clear high school. He is sharp and witty, when interviewed face to face, while Koffee with Karan is a pop culture product.
