Disruption: A process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to challenge an established incumbent business.<\/em> We are witnessing a revolution of sorts in the business world. And this is making traditional businesses such as Banks very nervous. Lean, agile start-ups are threatening to take away their bread and butter. But, instead of worrying and becoming insecure, traditional players must collaborate with these business start-ups. Collaborative Disruption will be a win-win situation for everyone. Here’s what has led to this revolution, and what traditional players can do about it.<\/p>\n India has the world\u2019s largest youth population; by 2020, India is set to become the world\u2019s youngest country with 64 per cent of its population in the working age group. So India\u2019s workforce is growing younger. And India produces the highest number of young engineers in the world. The youth are extremely tech savvy and have access to information at its fingertips (Google on mobile phones). At work, they challenge traditional workplace models and make big demands on IT infrastructure and resources (in the name of increasing productivity and being more collaborative).

Indeed, businesses can benefit from tech start-up innovation. But why should businesses reach out to start-ups?<\/p>\n On the other hand, large business will need to invest heavily in R&D. And there is always the risk of not having the right people with the right skills.<\/p>\n So here’s what businesses need to do:<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m seeing partnerships between traditional players and business start-ups happening right now.<\/p>\n As an executive of\u00a0 one of the top 5 private sector banks in India told me recently: “If they want to break my bones, I will invite them over and show them how to do it!
