The two main ideas analysed in the book such as 'entrepreneurial citizens' itself is important to my broad research area of sociology of tech, space and work. The first one is regarding the importance of start-ups and work in defining the entrepreneur economy of India. The second is the assessment of socio-cultural imagination behind the relationship between innovation and upliftment of poor enhanced through technology in the epoch of neoliberalism. This helps me to locate the correlation between technology and geographical spaces for my research. for example, the author underlines the contradictions of India(modern) and Bharath (traditional), which surfaces when I try to map out and compare the Bangalore’s technology-based start-ups(which is considered as the established geography for start-ups) with the growing ambitions on technology and start-ups in a small town like Calicut in Kerala. According to the author, even though the Indian IT tycoons and planning elites understand these contradictions in reality and formulate their theories upon it. but they along with the state is trying to reimagine the discourse and policies upon 'development', through imposing entrepreneurialism as an ideology of emancipation of rural masses by themselves rather than state-oriented planning, they are also expected to take the responsibility rather than out crying for civil rights and better social and economic. So technological start-ups are considered as the cutting edge idea for such a hyped venture. The production of expertise, not just for economic purpose, but also to achieve the goal of upliftiment of poor is the primary goal. For my research, I can use this hypothesis to evaluate how successful they were and how it is implemented through start-ups to make entrepreneur communities. If not what are the counter imaginations by the people who are engaging with? For example, how people and workers are responding to such 'burdens' of responsibility to contribute to nation building through imposed self-entrepreneurism? The fact that Indian organized sector and job security becoming a past nostalgia is pointing to the entire process mapped out by the author which makes the last question relevant
