Students, start-up and entrepreneurship: The boom, challenges, what gov't can do

EdexLive Desk

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in entrepreneurship among Indian students. This is due to a number of factors, including:

- The rise of the internet and digital economy has created new opportunities for businesses

- The government's support for entrepreneurship, through initiatives such as the Startup India programme

- The success of Indian entrepreneurs, such as the founders of Flipkart and Paytm

As a result of these factors, there is a growing number of Indian students who are interested in starting their own businesses. A recent study by the National Entrepreneurship Network found that 70 per cent of Indian students are interested in entrepreneurship.

There are a number of reasons why Indian students are interested in entrepreneurship. A few students are motivated by the desire to be their own boss and to have control over their own destiny. Others are motivated by the opportunity to make a difference in the world. A few others are motivated by the financial rewards that can be associated with entrepreneurship.

There are a number of challenges that Indian students face when starting their own businesses. These challenges include:

- Lack of access to capital: Starting a business requires money and it can be difficult for Indian students to get the funding they need

- Lack of experience: Many Indian students do not have the necessary business experience to start a successful business

- Lack of mentorship: There is a lack of mentors available to Indian students who are starting their own businesses

- Lack of government support: The government does not provide enough support to Indian entrepreneurs

Despite these challenges, there are a number of things that can be done to promote entrepreneurship among Indian students. These include:

- Providing more access to capital: The government can provide more funding to Indian entrepreneurs through schemes such as the Startup India programme

- Providing more training and education: There needs to be more training and education available to Indian students on entrepreneurship. This can be done through schools, colleges and other institutions.

- Providing more mentorship: There needs to be more mentors available to Indian entrepreneurs. This can be done through government programmes, private organisations, and other channels.

- Providing more government support: The government can provide more support to Indian entrepreneurs through policies such as tax breaks and regulatory reforms.
