“…This situation may result in certain positive outcomes given the global scale of such funds, but it may also generate unfavorable consequences like a process of early foreignization of growing startups and entrepreneurial drain. These consequences were already identified and analyzed in the Latin American case, with both innovation and competition policy implications (GONZALO et al, 2013;PIRES-ALVES;LYRA, 2019). These issues are gaining presence even in official documents (GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, 2012) and should be included in the future policy agenda of the IT EE, considering the Latin American experience.…”

“…Structural framework conditions would affect the depth of financial markets, the existence of "smart capital", and the relative returns of long-term productive investments (versus the short-term speculative ones) affecting the relative potential of this dynamic. Shortcomings in this dynamic may force entrepreneurs to rely on bootstrapping strategies, foreign VCs, the diaspora and/or to sell significant portions of their businesses earlier than desired, in a process of "venture foreignization" and "entrepreneurial drain" (GONZALO et al, 2013;KANTIS, 2018;PIRES-ALVES;LYRA, 2019).…”

Bangalore’s IT entrepreneurial ecosystem boomed in the 2010s. However, its recent development is the result of an accumulative process of capacities building. The objective of this article is to analyze this process from systemic and evolutionary perspective, inspired by some Latin American contributions. This study adopted a single in-depth case study design based on more than 20 semi-structured interviews with key actors of Bangalore’s IT entrepreneurial ecosystem. This approach allows us to identify and reflect on the different long-term, multi-level and context specific processes, events and actors that influenced the configuration of Bangalore’s IT entrepreneurial ecosystem, pointing out some systemic and structural constraints that may hinder its further development. The idea of structural heterogeneity is introduced in the entrepreneurship literature to denote the coexistence of a vibrant nucleus of entrepreneurial activity surrounded by certain underdeveloped systemic conditions. Finally, by introducing several Indian contributions, this study helps to deepen the dialogue between Asian and Latin American scholars to develop a research agenda on innovation and entrepreneurial systems giving account of the Global South development challenges.

“…10 No se trata de un fenómeno exclusivo del sector de SSI. La tendencia a la creación de empresas tecnológicas (startups) para ser vendidas es una estrategia de amplia difusión sectorial (Pires-Alves et al, 2019;Gonzalo et al, 2013). sores extranjeros son aquellas que tienen productos desarrollados, modelos de negocios atractivos y/o carteras de clientes de accesos a mercados estratégicos para el desarrollo del negocio.…”

El sector de software y servicios informáticos (SSI) argentino lleva dos décadas de actividad impulsado por políticas públicas y la subcontratación internacional. Sin embargo, en la actualidad el crecimiento del sector está estancado. Este freno se debe a un extractivismo de capacidades que opera por tres vías: precios-salarios, formación y financiera. La primer vía, la explica la creciente competencia por costos que resulta en contracciones de salarios y beneficios. La segunda, la formación de capacidades que se reorienta a los requisitos de la demanda internacional en competencias estandarizadas. Y la tercera, la valorización financiera de los emprendimientos. El artículo construye un conjunto de información estadística que permite describir y documentar este fenómeno en el caso argentino.

“…As discussed for the Latin American case in Gonzalo et al. (2013), Gonzalo (2015), and Pires‐Alves et al (2019), there are potential implications in terms of “foreignization” of the startups and the intellectual property and competition policy issues related to killing acquisitions that could appear if the foreign VC presence is not mediated by a systemic policy approach.…”

Even during the current COVID‐19 crisis, venture capital (VC) is booming in India. Indian‐based VC funds grew from less than 10 at the start of the 1990s to more than 500 nowadays, with the amount of total investment continuously increasing since 2000. The aim of this paper is to contextualize the process of emergence, development, and boom of the Indian VC industry from the theoretical perspective of innovation and entrepreneurial systems, particularly incorporating contributions from Latin American and Indian authors. In doing so, we present a global, historical, and territorially grounded narrative of the Indian VC development stressing the relevance of: (a) the institutional and technological capabilities accumulated by the Indian National Innovation System (NIS) and the Indian Computer and Information Services Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (CISEE), particularly around Bangalore, (b) the role of the State (and the institutional entrepreneurs) and the timing of the STI policy oriented to the software industry, (c) the growing influence of global players such as the World Bank, the Indian American argonauts and multinational enterprises, and (d) the U.S. offshoring opportunities and the growing Indian domestic demand. We discuss these processes with a wider relevance for theoretical and policy advancement in Global South settings.
