accounting, tax, audit, banking, I.T of Indian govt.

Searching for right office space, size and location.

Lack of infrastructure in India which makes it difficult for products and services to spread virally.

Lengthy and complex process i.e. needed detailed business plan, financial projections etc.

Requirement of experienced management team.

CHALLENGES FACED

Increasing links between venture firms in India back

to Silicon Valley have standardized some of the processes between the two places.

India high population serves as a great market.

A lot of inspiration comes from Indian entrepreneurs who lived and worked or studied abroad who bring back to start their own.

Bangalore is the I.T hub of India so firms get an opportunity to venture capital to many companies at ones.

ADVANTAGES

The entrepreneurs should not get enamored with the

numbers instead they must be pragmatic.

The Indian institutions such as IIT’s & IIM’s which are hubs of research that have significant, true intellectual property to offer can serve as a golden rise to the industries.

The students of India if interested must learn investment by investing in small industries.

India is a good place to do social entrepreneurship.
