Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

If we were to look around us, the entrepreneurial mindset is widespread in India, especially in sectors such as retail, we have over 13 million shops in the country, 78 percent of which are family owned. However, the sector is fragmented and has issues of scale, and does not have a supporting ecosystem. The U.S. economy, as we all know, is primarily entrepreneurial; as a matter of interest, VC-backed companies represent 17 percent of their GDP and generate over 10 million jobs. Every year over one million new companies are started in the U.S., almost 50 percent of them fail the very first year and 40 percent just survive for five years. The important point is that failure is accepted as a natural part of the process and is not viewed as a dead end. 

This is a good sign for us to maintain the nine percent growth we talk about: we must create jobs and while the government can only play facilitator, the education system, especially our universities together with the industry must nurture the required ecosystem. Education needs to adapt its curriculum to encourage entrepreneurial skill sets right from high school onwards. Opportunity evaluation, risk taking, raising and leveraging resources, communications, and sales are survival skills; and these cannot be imbibed through an intensive dose later in life. If students are given opportunities to practice these skills in the relatively safe and risk-free environment of an academic institute, young people, when they do start ventures, will have higher chances of success.

LIFE ?...................

Of course we all know what is meant by the word "life", but how would you define it?


People like to say, as if it were obvious, that life is hard to define. Even the biologists (people who study life) have a tough time describing what life is! and plz no explanation of DNA or RNA. Even Philosophers are wrestling with this big questions. And now scientists are struggling to define life as they manipulate it, look for it on other planets, and even create it in test tubes.So as scientists push the bounds of biology, astronomy and robotics, a big question looms: What exactly is life?

Is human life just a dream, from which we never really awake, as some great thinkers claim? Are we submerged by our feelings, by our loves and hates, by our ideas of good, bad, beautiful, awful? Are we incapable of knowing beyond those ideas and feelings?

Are we all human beings just survival machines,blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes?Lastly ,When I consider my life, I rest frightened, and astonished, for there is no reason why I should be here rather than there. Why now rather than then?

Friendship,or art or faith in god are the factors of true happiness, of inner peace,of feelings of harmony,allowing meaning to our existence.But there is the other side.There is the cruelty of life,the pain,the evil,not to talk of death.They are the hidden tigers ambushed and ready to attack the imprudent.Is between these pendulums- the +ve,the one that gives happiness and meaning and the -ve - that our lives are lived. And when we meditate about all that, we arrive at a diverse and disagreeing set of thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life.

I see many people in the world, running this way and that, busy with work and family and various kinds of recreation. But what does it all mean in the long run? What if I had never been born?
And after I am dead, what mark will I have left on the world to show that I have existed, that I have accomplished something? Will I be remembered for even 100 years?

Human life seems like a useless, meaningless treadmill. It is like a huge industrial complex for producing oil, but all of the oil is needed to keep the machines running! All it accomplishes is its own perpetuation. What's the point of running around in a squirrel-cage, of giving my life to a rat-race without a goal?
