Startup culture in India:

India is one of the leading markets for Startup in the world. In fact, according to an article in Forbes, the number of Startups is expected to quadruple from 3,100 in 2014 to 11,500 in the year 2020. Thus, the Startup culture in India is growing at a fast rate. And this rate will continue to soar in the upcoming years. Such growing trend has led to creation of more jobs and innovation.

Startup India – An initiative to boost Startup culture in India:

On 15th August 2015, Narendra Modi, the honourable Prime Minister of India launched an initiative to impart strength and innovation to the talented young generation of the country. The initiative is named as ‘Startup India’. It aims to create a platform where entrepreneurs establish themselves without any hassle.

The action plan of this initiative is to,

Think different!

If you have any idea in your mind that can attract potential customers, then start a Startup. And even if you don’t have any idea, think different and come up with one. If you have developed a product or service that has potential, even then you can start a Startup. If you aspire to develop such a product or service, then Startup is a good idea.

Basically, think differently and start a Startup!
