The 10th National Level Business Plan Pitch

“Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.”

Entrepreneurship is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. Entrepreneurs have many different roles to play, the role of an innovator is the most crucial. The world is heading towards entrepreneurial economies leaving behind managerial economies. Where trailblazing ideas are set to give a new global face and understanding to business.

Everything starts with a great idea, and while you may be thrilled about a brilliant concept you have come up with, there is more to starting a business than just the first impulse. However, the idea forms the basis for the foundation. Everything else requires some good financial decision- making, foresight, and smart planning. Starting and running your business is an incredible journey for those who are willing to take the road less travelled.

This helps you to face your fears, accept your limits, and forces you to lay an indestructible foundation under those dreams. India is the new land of opportunities. With programs such as ‘Startup India Standup India’ and ‘Make in India’ now is the time for the youth of India to rise to the occasion and showcase their entrepreneurial talent.
