Startups have been the flavor of the season over the last few years for the Indian markets. A startup company (startup or start-up) is an entrepreneurial venture which is typically a newly emerged, rapidly-growing business that aims to meet a market need by developing or offering an innovative and extraordinary product, process or service. A startup is usually a company such as a small business, a partnership or an organization deliberately designed to rapidly develop a commercially viable business modelThis has resulted into the emergence of a number of home grown unicorns across the country. Prime Minister NarendraModi launched an ambitious program called Startup India Standup India. This was aimed at revolutionizing and accelerating the startup revolution in India, which is already witnessing strong traction. However the road to success is not as smooth as it appears to be. The larger problems plaguing the businesses, such as the unorganized and fragmented Indian market, lack of clear and transparent policy initiatives, lack of infrastructure, lack of knowledge and exposure, complications in doing business, etc. are at least now being identified as issues that need to be addressed. The framework and course of regulations need to be updated and adopted as per the times. The right policy matter announcements by lawmakers can be a push the growth of startups. To create awareness and building an entrepreneurial environment, a lot of emphasis should now be given to creating infrastructure for mentoring startups. Various stakeholders such as the government, corporate, educational institutions and others should join hands to build a better ecosystem for young people. In times like these, pro-reforms announcements are required to provide the much needed impetus to the general business environment in the country in the startup space.
