Hark back to the times when "start-up" wasn't the buzz word it is these days. People weren't losing sleep over thinking up innovative ideas. We heard less of titles like venture capitalists and angel investors. Open offices weren't quite part of working culture either. And swanky co-working spaces were as good as non-existent. But then all that changed when an army of young entrepreneurs defeated the dominant perceptions of doing business in the country, and the old order gave way to the new.

A theatrical show called The Startups now picks up on this theme and gives it a twist. The performance doesn't involve any set-in-stone script. Instead, the audience is invited to cook up innovative ideas that are put to the vote, with the actors then improvising on the best few to build a narrative on stage.
