[Reader-list] Stories of Entrepreneurship

[tripta]

Dear Prasad,

Enjoyed your posting on entrepreneurship as find resonance of what I am 
looking at the moment. I presume that the research is in its initial 
stage and the narrative will deepen. Also, I do not know the context in 
which you are conducting the research so ignore redundant queries.

The three case studies you have sent represent three different contexts 
with connections of some sort, i suppose. It was in this context I was 
wondering how you are mobilizing the term `entrepreneurship'; are these 
people `self proclaimed' entrepreneurs or they are `identified' as same 
by their peers? How does being an `entrepreneur' shape the sociality of 
the relations, existing and evolving? Is the success accounted for in 
terms of alleviated `social status'? Are there any negatives of being a 
success story articulated within the narratives of the self or the 
other? Does it alter the manner in which entries into `spaces' and 
`narratives' are sought? For instance, is the knowledge of `newer types 
of vegetables' for the vendor a means to seek entry into `newer' spaces? 
How are these `newer' vegetable articulated in the everyday language? 
Does it represent a certain class/ social status/lifestyle?

thanks and looking forward to your response
