Abstract :

The National Mission for a â�?�?Green Indiaâ�? aims to achieve an afforestation of 6 million hectares of degraded forest lands and to expand forest over from 23% to 33% of Indiaâ�?�?s territory by 2022. But, it is observed that there is no motivation for harnessing and nurturing the existing biomass resources and the required upgradation for biomass technologies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a strategy to overcome the entrepreneurial challenges in Bioenergy sector. The proposed strategy is inspired by the concept of lean manufacturing and lean startup methodology. The Bioenergy sector is failing to achieve the desired goals because somewhere we are successfully executing a bad plan. It is the plan which needs to be calibrated again and again to avoid wastage of precious time and efforts. We can reduce the time between pivots by accepting the fact that entrepreneurship is management through validated learning. But, it needs lot of care to decide when to pivot. It is proposed that we should conduct usability tests to assess how the people involved in National Mission. The formation of Cross-functional teams and their improvement in their performance is suggested through Cohort Analysis and Predictive Monitoring. In the last the proposed strategy suggests how we can go faster for achievement of National Mission for a â�?�?Green Indiaâ�?.
