Why are you passionate about business models and business model innovation?

After a long career with one of the largest professional services firm, I felt a desire to help small and medium enterprises. And the first thing I learnt was the inability of many small entrepreneurs to explain succinctly their business model. I passionately feel that helping them through this would greatly help these small entrepreneurs.

I think the approach articulated in this book could really help small Indian entrepreneurs, some of whom have very good ideas but a at a loss to articulate their business model to advisors like us, and worse to potential investors. We applied it to our own start-up and was amazed by the insights that emerged.
