Developing countries are increasingly adopting in-house Tablet manufacturing as a result of the cost-effectiveness and significance of tablets. This paper provides a comparative insight into the Tablet manufacturing industry, focusing on Egypt and India. Tablet manufacturing and use in the educational institutions of both nations are ambitious endeavors. Further resemblances can be observed in terms of population and economic obstacles. Despite the Egyptian and Indian initiatives commencing concurrently, the Indian initiative has accumulated more substantial accomplishments. The research examines the tablet computer industry in Egypt along three technological axes: domestic manufacturing, joint production, and contracting with international manufacturing firms. The industry challenges faced by Egypt are analyzed and provide suggestions for the development of this critical sector, with a specific focus on the education industry.

Frugal entrepreneurship (FE) is increasingly considered an important change-maker in emerging markets, serving the unmet market needs of the poor. However, we lack an understanding of who the protagonists of the FE are, their constraints, drivers, and outcomes. Using an inductive research approach with multiple cases, we build a framework that explains constraints, drivers, and outcomes of the FE. We identify three types of constraintsresource, institutional, and scale-up constraints. FEs' creation process involves an innovative approach and institutional support as drivers. Unlike conventional firms, the study points out the duality of outcomes of FEs-business growth and inclusive growth. Despite many constraints, FEs demonstrate proven success in providing affordable products for low-income customers and show a way of profiting with inclusive growth. Our article makes several contributions along with both theoretical and practical implications.
