Abstract: Abstract Leveraging select factor advantages, several firms of Indian origin (FIOs) are doing quite well in emerging industries, including rapidly growing segments such as apps and digital platforms (DPs). Yet, gaps between apps by FIOs and super apps in China and other countries are quite vast on multiple dimensions. The entry of ‘large industrial houses of India’, with diverse capabilities across member companies, in relevant segments can help evolve innovation platforms. Particularly, it can help catch-up on critical capabilities related to management of technology and innovation (MoT) that demand deep talent and finance pools. In this short case study, efforts are made to clarify the context and dilemmas faced by top leaders of a firm, synthesized for a chief technology officer (CTO). The case provides an exciting opening context for learners of management and strategy, particularly experienced executives, as well as top leaders in firms, governments and bureaucracy. It also has a section summarizing high importance dilemmas for researchers and academicians to undertake exciting studies.
