Without appearing to be in disagreement, Mr. Ajay gently pushed back the idea that talent always needs talent clusters to blossom. There are always outliers who have created waves by being away, by force of circumstance of course, from the congregation of talent. Newton, as explained in an earlier episode, is a great example. He made path-breaking discoveries while he was alone in his grandmother's place away from great learning centers. Amit's point is correct in the sense that considering the complexity of the evolving sciences, talent clusters can act as catalysts for interdisciplinary breakthroughs. The ambiance that a group of bright people creates can surely be inspiring and can affect the outcomes disproportionately. Great discussion as always. Thanks.
