• yes in India it is happening .
  A single window system to assist the enterpreneur is a great help.

• u r right anu......
  Entreprenership is more hype than happening in india.....
  if i want to start a business from scratch , its not possible because no one be ready to finance it......
  even financial institution will ask for some contribution from the promoter.

• In my opinion Entrepreneurship is misunderstood (I am doing my own business) by the cream who want to jump into and have their own business up & running. It is happening in India but more encouragement and mentorship needs to reach to the general public. TiE is doing its "bit" to reach masses but I believe Entrepreneurship should start at the college level for the upcoming leaders to understand (not academically alone) the finer details of Entrepreneurship.
  
  I am confident that most of us can contribute to the growing pool of young entrepreneurs as there are abundant opportunities in India to take India to the next level. Posted by Rajesh Gupta, Client Relationship Director at CSC Covansys | 01 Jul, 2010

• I can proudly say that Entrepreneurship in India is best practiced successfully by the semi-urban medium-scale entrepreneurs in India. The Global Recession is also successfully managed only because of this success with the Entrepreneurial ventures by the Indians.

• I believe that a perfect situation never exist but we have to constantly strive for the same. Instead of entering into this blame game for something we or others have been unsuccessful or could not do so far, lets wake up and rise amidst all the odds and stand with conviction. Yes! 'Conviction' is my key word. Instead of standing aloof and blaming the system, lets be a part of the system to improve it. We have to create opportunities for ourself and move ahead with conviction. It will open the doors for us as well as for other aspirants. Posted by Deepti Gaurav Aggarwal, Assistant manager at Sharekhan Limited | 23 Jun, 2010

• I think India is the most happening place in the world today. India has become the testing and breeding ground for new ideas. Though India mayn’t be in the same league as that of her western counterparts when it comes to filing new patents. We didn’t possess the same scale and size either. Still we are catching up fast..... Entrepreneurship is the most viable instrument/tool to improve living standards of 1.1 billion people and to create more employment opportunities which the government can't do alone. So far, i believe entrepreneurship is mainly restricted to tier-1 and II cities. This is slowly changing and more and more people from smaller towns and villages are ready to join the entrepreneurial bandwagon provided they ...See More have the necessary support to commercialize their ideas. We have also seen a clutch of successful new ventures from these places. I hope the situation will definitely improve in 5-10 years down the line. To conclude, i can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that the urge or determination to venture out on their own has definitely increased among today's youth. This can be gauged from the fact that more and more west based PE/VC firms are branching out to India. Posted by Senthilkumar, Business Analyst at IBS software services | 22 Jun, 2010

• Anu Agarwal's discussion topic is topical and crucial for India's socio-economic growth. Prosperity creation and distribution at 100% population level can better be shared or contributed to a major extent only by self employment ventures which would create at least few more jobs for others. Government of India has a separate Ministry for small and medium enterprises for supporting entrepreneurship and it is doing its job in its own way through developing skills and providing loans through public sector banks.
  Entrepreneurship is more of encouraging personal initiative for creating prosperity and distributing to fellow men and women and this ought to have been taken up by the government in a missionary spirit. But ...See More unfortunately, India has a peculiar set up in which the politicians have made political activities as profitable entrepreneurship and you will find the more than sixty odd parties registered with the Election Commission of India had provided a vast arena of entrepreneurship and creative self-actualization in political brokering and middlemanship to its followers. Since politics is a lucrative pursuit why to work for creating wealth for the people of India? Secondly, the NGOs registered in India, numbering not in thousands but in lakhs, purported to support the Government in creating and distributing prosperity, have managed like the politicians, to create wealth for themselves leaving the country's needs as they were.
  Today, opportunities abound in education, health, family management, affordable housing, waste management, alternative energy production, pollution management, infrastructure, etc for developing entrepreneurship. It is definitely not a hype. Social entrepreneurship has caught the attention of many well meaning individuals and groups. Almost all media groups have now programmes for encouraging entrepreneurial spirit in people young and old. I am sure out of our restless anxiety, some clear vision would emerge as to how we should proceed on this issue of entrepreneurship.

• Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship- a real time story for the Peers under Peer Power from Er Ramalingam K S, Innovation & Design Engineering Consultant
  
  The Term ‘Entrepreneur’ was applied to business initially by the French Economist, Cantilon , in the 18th Century, to designate a dealer who purchases the Means of Production for combining them into Marketable Products as an Individual who bears the risk of operating
  ...See MoreDefinitions of the Terms
  After the Change of Times and Business Practices the Terms ‘Entrepreneurs‘& ‘ Entrepreneurship’ also continued to change and we can find more ways of explaining the Terms to Define an Entrepreneur or Entrepreneurship

  An Ideal & Successful Entrepreneur will be an Individual who is well rooted/supported by the above TWELVE PILLARS as the basic Foundations- in a positive sense .
  
  My Mission Today is to elaborate the TWELVE Pillars individually ,
  And tell/share with you my experiences as the promoter- Director of
  December Tools P Ltd – a SSI Auto Ancillary Unit at Chennai -96.
  Chennai –96 ways back from 1990 to 1995.
  And the Re-Engineering of myself to a Proprietor of’ ‘SUBRAS 3D ‘- an Engineering & Management Consultancy Firm from 1995.
  In tune with all the TWELVE Pillars ,Which will take you to have a live –story of the Challenges/ Opportunities/ Hardships / Problems of having an in-coherent Partnership in a business and some Green & Yellow Guidelines for the Entrepreneurship I have learnt w.r.t TWELVE Pillars of Entrepreneurship.
  And there-by a Check List of Guidelines for each Pillar for a viable successful Entrepreneur Model as a Guidance for you – the young Managers and probably the future Entrepreneurs or Intrapreneurs
  You have ONLY TWO options before you to grow in this most competitive world of today .
  ‘’Differentiate or Die ‘’
  This is the Management Mantra of Today
  You have to find a self –differentiation within you
  Either to become/grow as an Entrepreneur or an Intrapreneur or exit from the Management Arena
  
  The Intrapraneur
  An Intrapraneur is the new breed of a Manager either in a Large Company as a CEO or as a Unit Manager in a SME.
  Emerging to generate new ideas and convert them into products through R & D activities within the frame work of an Organization .
  He is given freedom to operate on his own
  He is encouraged to think himself as an Entrepreneur within the Enterprise
  Thus he becomes a Partial Owner ,The Entrepreneur.
  He turns his Ambition into Achievement & his
  Dream into Reality He is the Hero of Capitalism ,
  The Object of Envy & Admiration , the Stuff of Commercial Legend ,
  The Source of New Companies , New Products &
  New Industries .
  ‘He Can Who Thinks He Can’ ‘’I promised my God I would do it “
  In September ,1862 , when Lincoln issued his preliminary emancipation proclamation , the sublimest act of the nineteenth century , he made this entry in his diary –
  ‘ I promised my God I would do it ‘
  HE DID IT
  
  The same is the Spirit of Entrepreneurship ,Yes – ‘He Can Who Thinks He Can ‘
  
  1-DREAMS
  
  Dreams – ‘ What you think ,you become ‘
  What you want to be ,you should dream and work to achieve that
  Dream is a basic starting point for an Entrepreneur
  Without Dreams you cannot visualize what you want to be - an integration of subconscious mind with the conscious mind.
  Edison is a Dreamer because he sees people half a century hence using & enjoying inventions , discoveries ,and facilities which make the most advanced utilities of to-day seem very old fashioned
  His mind’s eye sees as curiosities in museums, Hundred years hence , those mechanisms & devices which now seem so marvelous to us
  Dreamers in this sense are true Prophets
  They see the civilization that will be , long before it arrives.
  December Tools P Ltd – DTPL
  I dreamt of having my own show even before I joined my BE @ GCT , CBE in 1965
  Switched over to a Pvt Company Manufacturing Tractor Trailers from the State Govt Job of Assistant Engineer to have an on-the –job exposure of running an Engineering Unit at the age of 27 – in 1974
  That helped me to be a Project Consultant for another Group of Companies for Design and Prototyping of Tractor Trailers
  After my full time jobs with Enfield &
  Hi Mu Group the same old dream was converted into reality when I launched my December Tools P Ltd in 1990 along with two friends – as a tiny spin off from Hi Mu Group .
  In my family all three were born in December and I had a fancy name of December Products which finally came out as December Tools P Ltd – as agreed by my co-directors and permitted by the ROC
  The DREAM was converted into REALITY
  2-IDEAS
  IDEAS-Without an Idea nothing will have a start
  It can be from a Spark or a long term dream or an imitation of a success story or a sudden business opportunity coming to you or forced on you
  
  ‘Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, and live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to successes.
  *Swami Vivekananda
  
  DTPL- I took up the idea of a SSI Unit to start with
  I had the vision of making it into a Designer-cum- Manufacturer of a Novel Light Duty Three Wheeler – an improved version of the so - called Fish Cart in Chennai
  And the second Venture as a Manufacturer of Rocker Levers
  
  DTPL- The Focus has been lost due to insufficient initial Capital mobilized and the wrong time in which we started
  During our launch there was a Petroleum Crisis .
  Financial Institutions did not come forward to fund the industry of my vision
  We were stuck up for even normal working capital assistance initially promised by SBI .We installed machines of general purpose only through Hire Purchase from Nisswa got the Assistance due to the basic reasons that myself have the good amount of experience and expertise
  
  My Ideas could not be put into practice .My time and energy eaten away to ‘some how ‘ run the unit to pay back the Hire Purchase installments .I had to function for 24/7 as an Operator /Setter / Supervisor / Process Planner / Marketer / Purchaser/ Accountant / Manager - a literal A to Z of that Unit for bringing it to the level of breakeven thanks to a late sanctioning of working capital from SBI after intensive follow up with the help and guidance of the NACOSI & its first President .
  
  3-INNOVATIONS –
  An Entrepreneur exists only when innovative factors are identified for the first time and not in the continuous activities.
  Maintenance is not part of the entrepreneurial activity .These Innovators invent new products. Their interests lay in Research & Innovative activities.
  When these Innovations become a reality the Entrepreneur further develops it and makes the organization grow
  
  DTPL- The majority stake of DTPL was not inclined towards my Innovations and the brutal rule of majority bull dozed KSR out of partnership when ,
  I brought it to the level of paying back the loans and earning profits
  Now DTPL continues to be a mere job working workshop and did not transform into a Manufacturer as originally dreamt by me – due to lack of technical/ functional leadership
  
  DTPL-Originally we have simultaneously got a Pvt Ltd Company Name Registered as ‘Mackrocks P Ltd for full fledged manufacture of Rocker Levers as a spin off from Hi Mu Group –the first organized manufacturer of Rocker Levers in India -with Senior People in the field with one of the leading auto components manufacturer also as a Member Director .And our main sponsor was having an Acre of Land along the I T Highway in which he has built a small factory for housing our initial venture DTPL was supposed to be its MD –for the 3 Crore Project . The path planned was not properly adhered due to lack of personal / financial supports and the ‘Mackrocks’ had become an aborted baby
  
  
  
  
  
  4- AGENT OF CHANGE –
  If it is a Proprietary Unit the Promoter has to be the Change Agent and if it is a Partnership or Ltd Company the Majority Share Holder has to be the Agent of Change for the Enterprise .The real Agent of Change from Zero Level should have the majority Financial Stake in the Business Unit to enforce changes as a continuous process to meet the challenges and utilize the opportunities
  DTPL- At the initial stage I was the Agent of Change for DTPL .
  The lack of commitments and the politics of majority stake financially took away my role as an Agent of Change. I was holding only 20 % holding .And the majority share holding Directors after getting incubated by me as Entrepreneurs worked against my interest and ultimately against the Company’s potential growth
  
  5-RISK MANAGEMENT-
  Taking Risks and Managing that risks are part and parcel of an Entrepreneur’s role in any Business .From the day one he starts a venture he is put to several risks That too in a partnership firm or a P Ltd Company ,if he is not a majority share holder , he is having the high risk of loosing his role also. It depends on the Human Chemistry at large .He has to face the risks of Competition / Technology Obsolescence / Market Changes / Social Changes / Fashion Changes / Change in Governmental Regulations /Staff Turn -Over / Spin Off by Colleagues or Employees
  And most of the Risks could not be covered by the Insurers
  If he forgets to get the Insurable Risks Insured , he is prone to be much affected by insurable kind of Risks also .The motivation to Profit ignites the Entrepreneur to take calculated Risks .And he should have some sufficient Reserve Funds to meet the unforeseen also .Any small or medium company will always be under Risks if the main promoter has not properly delegated /trained his down the line or heir -apparent in time
  He or the Unit is prone for this Risk if not taken care in time proactively
  
  6-INVESTOR/ CAPITAL-
  Capital Investment by the Main Entrepreneur as a majority stake is a MUST .In some cases some Pure Investors also become as Entrepreneurs
  Money is the most important start-up ingredient. When the Entrepreneur is only an Investor and not a Manager he is having the High Risk of not having the real pulse of the Entity .He should not stop with only analyzing the financial flows .And should have trusted lieutenants to efficiently manage the Show .Creating wealth after earning reasonable Profits is the main scale of Success in Entrepreneurship or Business .
  Without Profits there is no meaning of an enterprise .The running blood is the difference in incoming and outgoing of cash .You have to monitor at the quickest frequency the cash flow. At every point of time see that Capital is not eroded
  
  DTPL – It was started with Rs 4 Lakhs as subscribed capital and Rs 16 Lakhs as authorized capital initially .But the subscribed capital was not brought up in time Due to the Hire purchase route we had to bring extra capital which the majority partners did not bring. But the partner whose family owned the shed tried a hostile take over as soon as NSIC Hire Purchase is sanctioned which myself resisted fully and the promise of extra capital by them was not effected. The unit started to function with starvation of initial capital
  
  The difficult journey continued: And we entered Leyland , Enfield , and TAFE thanks to my contacts and hard works. And at last the SBI came to us with the working capital assistance .Otherwise I myself might have opted for closure of the Unit
  Then due to SBI and prompt payments from Leyland we were able to swim across and crossed break-even and started paying back to NSIC also .
  
  7-PROBLEM SOLVING –
  The Entrepreneur has to be an economic man with an innovative mindset and skills for solving problems .Problems will come from any direction .When we say we are going to be independent by venturing into our own we are actually opening our doors to be dependent on so many happenings in the world and dependant on so many people right from the security guard of the unit to the Prime Minister of the country .When you are a full time employee you are only a dependant on your boss / employer .And you need to solve the problems allocated to you only. But once you become an Entrepreneur you have to be a stalwart of solving problems of various natures and from various quarters
  
  DTPL- I was the prime Director –Manager solving all A to Z Problems
  Whether it is a question of formation of P Ltd Company , sales tax , corporation tax , recruitment , manning the machines when there is heavy absenteeism by supervisor / operators , auditing , quality problems , product/ source approvals , payment delay , maintenance etc I had to face / solve the problems.
  
  8-OPPORTUNITY-
  Opportunity will not mostly come of its own .
  It has to be created / perused by the Entrepreneur. He has to search for change , responds to it & exploits it as an opportunity. In an analysis of opportunities , such changes offer scope for economic or social innovation which is converted as an opportunity .
  DTPL- I felt that I was stagnant in my former Employer the same with one of my colleagues there. We were on the look out for a change .And I took it as an opportunity to partner together and launch our DTPL since their family had a good location for an Industry and the partner had some exposure in running a two wheeler agency / service centre. Then one of my cousins who had some savings from his Mid –East income also came forward to join with us .We approached Automotive Companies in Chennai for job work orders to start with and started functioning
  
  9-UNCERTAINTY –
  Uncertainty will be omnipresent in any enterprise All Entrepreneurs belong to a specialized group of persons who bear uncertainty.
  Uncertainty is defined as a risk which cannot be insured against and is incalculable
  He thus draws a distinction between ordinary risk and uncertainty .
  Uncertainty is a risk that cannot be calculated .
  He is an economic functionary who undertakes such responsibility of uncertainty which, by its very nature cannot be insured, or capitalized or salaried .
  
  DTPL- Uncertainty is a known factor when we started DTPL
  While establishing the Petroleum Crisis came Banks refused to see any kind of proposals related to Auto Industries .OEMs were not able to give better prices for the Machining Services .We were not certain of the payment dates from the OEMs
  
  10-CO-ORDINATION ,ORGANIZATION & SUPERVISION
  Management is mostly co-coordinating/organizing/ supervising
  An Entrepreneur is one who combines the land of one , labour of another and the capital of yet another and then produces a product or service .By selling the product in the market ,he pays interest on capital , rent on land and wages to labourers and what remains is his profit .As a co-coordinator/ organizer/ supervisor he has to surmount the obstacles , surpass the anxieties , repair the misfortunes, raise the resources and expedite to continue , maintain and expand the enterprise .
  DTPL- Under DTPL I was doing all the above functions right from the concept to establishment , installation, operation , supervision ,marketing , billing ,payment collection and repayment of loans .
  
  11-ACHIEVER-
  The need for achievement is simply the desire to do well not so much for the sake of social recognition or prestige but for the sake of an inner feeling of personal accomplishment It is the need for achievement that motivates people to take risks People with an hunger for achievement behave in an entrepreneurial way Need for achievement stimulates the behavior of a person to be an Entrepreneur .This inner spirit which we term as the need for achievement , if noticed in abundance would produce more energetic Entrepreneurs , capable of generating rapid economic development.
  Internationally/ historically we , Indians, have more percentage of population under this Entrepreneurship category .But how efficiently we are transforming to potential / profitable entrepreneurs is the question mark .And there are signs of positive developments in our Nation now .
  DTPL- As far as I am concerned I wanted to achieve to be a Chennai Industrialist supplying reliable parts to OEMs
  I reached that under DTPL What I achieved more is the enhancement of my Self Confidence .And to become a manufacturer of Three Wheelers which I could not achieve it under DTPL I am going to achieve it under ‘SUBRAS 3D’
  For the other major partner of DTPL , he has achieved his goal to be a small industrialist due to my indirect incubation services
  
  12-I.T ENABLER-
  Under this Information Era the Entrepreneur has to be a computer friendly man and an I T Enabler to bring speed , systems and avoidance of human errors .He has to integrate with the www to be on par with the practices in the national/ international scenario
  DTPL- We did not go for any kind of IT facilities within my span of association – that is 5 years .We missed the bus of IT for DTPL .Right from a non-CNC set up & non-CAD set up to a no-internet connectivity .That may be one of the reasons for insufficient growth of DTPL .
  
  Intrapreneurship – a success story
  
   SMART PRESS - Now we can see a success story of Design & Development of Rotary Tablet Presses under my Consultancy which is a kind of Intrapreneurship where I was allowed to innovate and execute my ideas meeting/exceeding the client’s requirements
  There knowingly or un-knowingly I adopted the Philosophy of Design For Manufacturability -DFM
  Intrapreneurship – a success story. A live Project experience of a successful usage of
   DFM- Design For Manufacturability - along with Concurrent Product Development of
   A Rotary Tablet Press for Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Tablets.

• Many people have shared their views on Enterpreneurs....out of all I would request someone to share their enterpreneurial journey...which turned out to be a success or failure with reasons....It would give us a real life experience than commenting on what others should do or should not have done.... Posted by shalini ratan, Founder and Chief Knowledge Facilitator at NIRVAN Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. | 18 Jun, 2010

• It is definitely a hype.Many a times our prospective entrepreneurs develop cold feet when a real oppurtunity presents itself. Perhaps it is the fear of failure or lack of ability to hardwork and struggle which invariably accompany such oppurtunities. We should not forget that" there is no free Lunch" and that all big industrialists have gone thru' their share of struggle and hardwork and continue to strive hard even after spectacular achievements. It is the lack of such bubbling passion and urge to succeed which one of the major causes of lack of entrepreneurship in India.

• Entrepreneurship signifies ones initiative/drive to do something or materialise some innovative things - be it an intellectual proprety or creation. The concerned individual if lacks in procuring resouces fails to get the results, if sells himself for money the property in him goes to the buyer(s).
  The so called management gurus/ institutions have never tried to assess his/her inner urge/potentials. There is no financial supports from FIs either by resource mobilisation or by improving the initiative for commercial usage or for gainful purposes.
  There was an attempt from ICICI Venture Fund to support the mega projects and I CREATE, a body, ones tried to develop and train the person(s) having entrepreneurship ...See More thoughts and provided technological back ups. There must be lot many such types of efforts.
  Representations may be made to the HRD Ministry to identify such persons from educational system and make a forum for collective growth with FIs support, otherwise such IDEAS shall die before takes birth.The forum is suggested to sustain against threats and to protect against weaknesses.
  OR ELSE we shall admit the process of brain drain. Posted by Ashok Ghosh | 18 Jun, 2010

• You are absolutely right, Anu. Entrepreneurship development in India is a fad among planners, scholars and administrators and politicians who have never been entreprenerial themselves. India can try to do everything only with plans, projects, schemes and policies. So India fails to achieve these. Entrpreneurship is a trait that has in it the capability to sollve all problems: entrepreneurship attracts funds, by pass red-tapiosm, finds out mentors and guides that are relevant, goes beyond what is taught in the schools and colleges and willing to take risk and does not complain about the society being unhelpfu. Entrpreneurs know that they may or may not succeed but will never give up trying for fear, risk or lack of help. ...See More Entrepeneurship needs only an appropriate social culture that looks at courage to innovate and take risks to create something sustainable and profitabl. When few rich savers and wealthy persons are willing to put their monies at risk backing entrepreneurs whose chance of success islow, entrepreneurship cannot be stimulated. Entrepreneurship based on government funding is no entrepreneurship at all. Entrepreneurship needs real life role model stories of the people like Dhirubhai Ambani, Bill Gates, Naranmurthy and the like. Entrepreneurship motivation does not come from the urge to become rich quickly or as aeans of livlihood. Entrepreneurship is a more astute and diversified skill than the skill of administration, planning,analyisis or day dreaming, finance, strategy,bribing, adhering to rukles. Entrepreneurs when successful gives others the evidence of new learning on finance, marketing, planning, strategy, innovation and organisation. You cannot create entrepreneurship by artificial means in laboratories of government offices, business schools, bank credit departments, engineering schools and entrepreneurship development programs. Children are the source of entrepreneurship: if children are handicapped by all kinds of external assistance, guidance, help, and restrictions. It is better that we give up thinking about lack of entrepreneurship and cultivate entreprenerurial attitudes individually. Posted by Basudeb Sen, Independent Director at South Asian Petrochem Ltd | 17 Jun, 2010

• Entrepreneurship in India has taken a beating because of lack of social support (peer, family and neighborhood). The word business is considered as a social taboo and a big risk. We Indians are better of working as slaves for others rather than risk losing. Shame on MBA's who do a course meant for entrepreneurs and end up working as super managers or super corporate janitors and the excuse is experience. Posted by Anish Kumar Sreedharan, Lead Enterprise at my bhumi | 17 Jun, 2010

• Entrepreneurship is going to be happening once the Leadership oriented batch of people first enter the Organised Retailing which is going to dominate the market as The Methodology in the next 10 years thus,enable the others to see the testimonies of the aforesaid category and follow their foot steps and thus going to create at least couple of hundreds of Millionaires in India Posted by VIJAYAKUMAR VELUTHAKKAL, Training Consultant at Peak Performance Trainings | 17 Jun, 2010

• I also agree with Mr.Anu Agrawal, an entrepreneurship seems to be hype in India than happening,because initially an entrepreneur think only about his project but when it starts, real facts are very different than dreams.Even if anybody dare to initiate something, can enjoy struggle as saying, hard work pays you and so on but ends up with frustration and shifting over to other profession with an experience of failure as the story of fox in which grapes do not remain sweet to fox after lot of hardwork. Posted by Pravin Deshmukh, Information Technology Officer (e-Governance) at Nagpur Municipal Corporation ,Nagpur | 17 Jun, 2010

• My own experience in dealing closely with entrepreneurs over the last 15 years is that entrepreneurship is more a matter of passion than anything else .... entrepreneurship can never be justified by the risk - reward financial analysis, after all 90% of all entrepreneurial ventures fail ... failure being defined as yielding returns substantially lower than the opportunity cost, at least in the first 5 years of a venture .... the fact that an entrepreneur gives the venture the time and the opportunity to actually yield financial returns is a function of the passion that drives entrepreneurship.
  Its very easy to dwell on the constraints and failures of the eco-system, but if the passion is missing an entrepreneur is just ...See More looking at self-employment which actually ends where entrepreneurship begins !!!!
  I hail all entrepreneurs for the passion they exhibit, which drives them to succeed despite all odds. Posted by Jayant Tewari, CEO & Financial Technologist at Out-Sourced CFO & Business Advisory Services | 17 Jun, 2010

• Entrepreneurship is the act of being an entrepreneur, which is a French word meaning "one who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods".
  
  Anu I think it is not Hype. IT is already their since ages. You can be in service and still be successful entrepreneur. Finally it is innovation in place of work.It is idea and business acumen with which you work.

  Mall culture has changed our civilization to better. Technology in telecom and medical science has changed our life. Things are faster. People operate their work on Mobile.
  
  Nobody, is stopping anybody of becoming business entrepreneur.We have more than 50-75 banks operating in India. We have availability huge unemployed manpower today, We have ready market of 1billion people,We have best optional transport system.
  
  Finally, Bn entreprenur does not wait & worry about hurdles of Govt or ecosystem.
  
  If you look into the stories of BEntrepreneur in last decade, You will find things have already Happened and still happening.

• Lip Service is always in vogue and therefore all the hype and attention around entrepreneurship. The truth is that to promote and foster "entrepreneurship" requires serious commitment, hard work and sincerity - most importantly especially at the early stages it requires for enablers to shed that wonderful business ability called "arbitrage". This is difficult to do away and therefore the merit of the discussion that you have started. To make matters worse, the policy makers are not committed to putting in place an ecosystem that fosters broad based entrepreneurship but are rather focussed on paying attention to the needs of the "capitalized" companies.
  There is a problem and as always therefore, an opportunity.
  We ...See More have some thoughts on how early stage entrepreneurs need to be supported..you may find it interesting (although it is a little sketchy...)

• Entreprenurship for human kind is like honey for bees. We are atttracted to it and want to be engaged in the business of creating wealth - more and more output with less and less of input. However for it to have roots, growth and starting to bear fruits, entrepreneur require a conducive environment, though some like Naryan Murthy or Asim Premji or Daveshar or Tatas or Birlas or you may name several success stories as agianst 10 times more failure realities, are able to grow inspite of the harsh weather, drought or cyclones of ecosystem, Bureaucratic red-tape, No Product Companies, Revamping Education, Lack of Good Mentors, Lack of M&A activity or what not you have named or not named - the hard reality is that if anything can go ...See More wrong, it does go wrong. The worst is that who are not able to survive and grow, we do not allow safe burial. The whole system goes to do post mortem and post mortem, thinking that even in death, the entrepreneur would have hidden something in coffin that system could recover and hang as a madle on the walls of success. When Government after Government - UPA and/or NDA have taken up so many reforms for India Shining, it is time, the whole system start respecting this trait, salute both success and failure and stop buracracy from treating each budding self employed as milking cow for their personal sadisitic pleasure of gratifying the infreriority complex of being a servant against the tall masters who are able to do it or atleast make an attempt at it.

• Entrepreneurship in India is growing through professional organisations like The Indus Entrepreneurs. The youth in India has tremendous talent to become successful entrepreurs, however, the social structure prohibits them. The youth is largely governed by their parents and other social networks (relatives, neighbours and freinds). They then prefer jobs to taking risks (associated with any business ventures). I inspire youth to transform an idea into a successful business through mentoring and using my international experience. I am currently based in London.

  at a much larger scale..esp. not just in IT.
  I am trying to make a presentation on what stops professionals from taking the plunge ito entrepreneurship. I have identified:
  ...See More
  1. Fear of Failure and related loss of fear
  2. Fear of Financial loss (lost earnings and capital invested)
  3. Pessimism - giving too much thought on what would happen if we fail raher than what will we gain if we succeed
  4. Lack of conifidence in one's own abilities
  5. Inertia - Everthing is too comfortable. Why rock the boat.
  6. Lack of support from family, friends and elsewhere.
  
  Please comment on any reason you feel I have missed out
  and also your personal attempts at entrepreneuership

• It seems to me that too many are expecting "the system" to help one move ahead. A true leader does not expect things to be done for them. A successful person takes the view "if it is to be then it is up to me". So a leader will find a way to do what needs to be done.
  Success follows a formula:
  Success = Dream (desire) + Work + Vehicle
  ...See MoreIf you have a desire to be successful, then you must be prepared to do what is required - even if the system is against you. This mean hard work.
  However what most people lack is the Vehicle (method) of becoming successful. Usually a person gets few chances to be successful in a life time, so one needs to grasp the opportunity when it comes along. However the real "trick" to this is recognising the chance when it presents. Recognition of an opportunity comes from "financial education" (ie experience, training, learning and interest).

• Barring few exceptions, I feel entrepreneurship in India, is a hype. What we see is mid term business view than Entrepreneurship. We can blame it to any thing but what I feel strongly is that some how there is no real entrepreneurship development. We do not see many with a global vision. What is the difference between India and China. We always tried to blame our labour laws, infrastructure, Bureaucratic red-tapism etc, but how many of our business houses had set up businesses with serving globe as a whole? Not many or very few - that too by default. I feel we need to institute a system to find out, develop and Mentors good Entrepreneurs. Posted by SUDEEP NAIGAONKAR, CEO at Chrysalis | 16 Jun, 2010

• It all depends on how you define an entrepreneur. India has always had enterprising people who started small and then grew their businesses. India has been a land of entrepreneurs - from the migrant who moved into a bigger city to start a small idli/dosa stall and then moved on to become an owner of a restaurant - to the humble cloth merchant who did some backward integration and set up a textile factory - they are all entrepreneurs. The Indians who migrated to set up their businesses abroad are also entrepreneurs - and are ample proof that India is a nation of entrepreneurs - a nation of enterprising people. Unfortunately - the segment is extremely fragmented - too vast and to a great extent anonymous. In fact they thrive on ...See More this anonymity. So when we discuss Entrepreneurs in various forums - we tend to only refer to the more visible ones of the lot.
  
  My answer therefore - Entrepreneurship in India has been happening - for a long long time! It is just that the term "entrepreneur" has caught our fancy of late!

• Yes, I believe entrepreneurship is happening. But for the reasons/challenges cited by you people have largely stuck to the services sector. Angel funds, powerful sustainable ideas, viable products, make it difficult for entrepreneurs to find genuine mentors. Moreover, our education system prepares us for JOBS and does not push or recommend entrepreneurship. How can our faculty (job holders) guide students on doing/running a business. Nevertheless, entrepreneurship as an opportunity to make the best out of ones life and skilss/abilities is unstoppable and will gather greater momentum in the years to come. India in particular has immense scope within their own diverse communities. Rather than believing in the HYPE of creating a ...See More culture of entrepreneurship it is probably better to capitalise on existing culture and systems to tap the present potential through entrepreneurship, which is already being demonstrated.

While it is to be appreciated that in a few our communitiy circles the spirit of entrepreneurship is very deep, natural and live in the larger part of the society it is scarce and exceptional to indivdual's capacity, motivation and various other factors that go in the making of an entrepreneur.

  I will answer in a simple way.
  [1] If you are a great MBA graduate you apply to an Indian company with 2years experience! what will you expect?what will be you asked by the Indian cos?
  ...See MoreThink and INK you will reach the answer.
  [2] I have taken a MA(English),HDFC Indian co last 2 years experienced young strong 26 year old man yesterday(15th June) into Abudhabi interviews.
  (a) One company a big Indian organisation ,the HR manager asked him his legs up on chair and table,to this young Lad,what did you do last 4 years?OK write about first co and second co seperate paras.
  The MA man asked Sir, please give me a paper to print and write,the MBA HR man with his both legs up on the table and leaning back of the chair with both hands around his neck back as if yarning (7years experienced) said INK on your CV's back side blank.This MA man is recommended from CEO of the organisation(CEO is My close friend).
  (b) The HR Man asked only waht si your past,what did you do?
  The MA man came out disappointed after 1 hr questions.Crying(face language and the body of words) literally due to mistreatment and disrespect way of talking.
  {b} I took him today a better oraganisation(it deals only with one Indian OVerseas bank transaction is 19,000 crores in 2008 alone,then ICICI and Bank of Baroda,State bank of India and other CITIand HSBC transfers.....imagine).
  He attende the interview and written exam for 45 minutes and said to me,Today also I am crying Sir.
  I kept my mouth quiet, tight lips and looked at him.After 2 minutes he said ,I am happy and crying.I just looked at him,he said this New co HR Madame she asked me what do you want to do?what will you need to improve you?and your skills? what will be convenient date to join when will you of any further studies or training to improve your future?Do you have future plans.
  I asked what did you think,she was stylish Sir,Indian only Sir,but young beautiful woman Sir,smiling,laughing and glancing my eyes and she was respecting me like an equal person.She was coming upto my chair to give me a pen and a paper to write my contacts and exchange our tel numbers she took my mobile and printed her numbers.She was more than excellent.
  Then I just smiled,seen my finger tips (clean)then twisted my mush saying your Naidu never fails,he is clever,so you don't worry I said to the MA Man.At last I can feel I can motivate youngsters.Jai Hind. Posted by Tim Duraikannan Venkatraman, General Manager at KK Consultancy | 16 Jun, 2010

• I would most certainly disagree with this view, reason being that I myself took the plunge leaving the cushion of corporate life & in 2 years started on my second venture.
  Yes, Funding is scarce but who says that access to funds is the driving force behind entrepreneurship..funds can help only when idea is bright & I extremely happy that I was born in this era, at this happening time. Consider this: 1st generation entrepreneurs (my partners) working on something as complex as surveillance products in the area of Lawful Interception, CDR analysis, Command n Control centre etc...start-ups doing stellar work in the area of LEDs, Power & energy...Yup..Products are in..and there are lots n lots of promising companies in India ...See More who are in this gruelling but extremely exciting space..Edupreneurs(not only Educomp)..many other companies like Education Initiatives, TopChalks, Aqwentio,iDiscoveri etc redefining the education space..and the product way..not the conventional coaching classes way...examples are galore..it's just ..My first start up was seeAhead Consulting which is India's 1st outsources sales company in the Surveilance product space & we managed to be in the Final round(220 out of 10,000 participants from India) of 'Power of Ideas' by Economic times & India Angel Networks..yes mentorship is there...only catch is to look at the right places...

• I guess Anu has come up with an absolutely valid defense. Entrepreneurship in india is not really taking off the way it actually should be. I believe the education system is majorly responsible for this. If we look at the B schools for instance the scenario is of blatant marketization.Placements have taken precedence over academics and of course dearth of a proper resource and direction has added to the worsening situation. Need of the hour is to create a rigorous awareness by emphasising on the benefits of working on an individual initiative to fuel self and economic growth. Tripti Dhote...

• It is partly hype & partly happening. The non-availability of satisfying jobs or careers is a blessing in disguise for entrepreneurship .The move towards outsourcing to reduce costs and expenditures related to performance and not related to calendar months or attendance are also the factors for the growth or compulsion to become entrepreneurs .My opinion is that in spite of all hurdles entrepreneurs will grow .And we can see that the failure rates will come down for the new generation entrepreneurs in India .It is indirectly becoming the writing on the wall thanks to the information boom and better logistics .

• I agree with your observations. These factors do discourage you but if you have conviction the hurdles will go eventually.

• Though there is no doubt that there are hurdles like the ones mentioned above in becoming successful entrepreneurs , what we mainly lack is the entrepreneurial talent. Lately, there have been many successful entrepreneurial ventures mainly in the IT sector, but these are ones floated by people who have been in the industry for some time and having created networks have moved on create their own companies. While not belittling their achievements,I think we need to look for ventures that are in greenfield areas like R&D, biotechnology, water treatment, alternative energy, etc.
  These need to be promoted by the government but essentially also require people willing to take the challenge to make them successful ventures. Posted by Inderpal Singh, Director at Institute of Business Studies and Research (IBSAR) | 16 Jun, 2010
