Khanna stresses that on top of specializing in a particular area, entrepreneurs working in developing countries must construct the conditions for success. How do you create these conditions? He encourages entrepreneurs to start by building a foundation of trust. Partnerships, Khanna argues, are essential for creating impact at scale in societies where partnering mechanisms are often nascent.
