This year (2016) The Goa Project features a separate track on Entrepreneurship.

Any form of Entrepreneurship is not easy. But there are specific sectors that are more challenging than the others. If you are trying to build a sustainable organization in a difficult and / or unglamorous market, this is a great opportunity to show case it to the world. Please come and share your success stories, failures, learnings and experiences.

Some examples (but not limited to) are:

  Creative entrepreneurs  in design / performing arts / social impact space

  Consumer facing business that is self-sustainable and profitable

  Sectors like infrastructure, waste management, renewable energy, engineering, agri-food..

```
  The tragedy of the commons
```

  Useful technologies that require behavioural change / have poor adoption curves..

```
  Developing markets outside India  
```

  Difficult to monetize sectors such as music or entertainment

```
  Any thing else and more..
```

The emphasis is not really on the sector or even the problem-opportunity-solution. Tell us how you are cracking the challenges of adoption, sustainability and scalability. Even if it is Work in Progress, there is a lot we can all learn from you.
