The recent NASSCOM Product Enclave in Bangalore, this week, and gave several talks to the 1000+ entrepreneurs in attendance. I was surprised at the changes that are powering the new transition: its tech workers are leaving high-paying jobs in IT services, and kids out of school are ignoring social taboos against failure and defying marriage customs to become entrepreneurs.

But what is the biggest inhibitor of youth entrepreneurship in India??

COURAGE TO BEGIN

idea posted by s.baalu Consultant, XYZ LTD
Courage to begin is more important than the willingness to achieve.For fear of failure many hesitate to start a new venture though every one wants to succeed and achieve.

Yes, I agree, the good beginning with due care is half done... We Indians always need somebody to crank us...

The Social stigma

idea posted by Veena Gupta Analyst, Blackstone Group

The Indian technology industry got its start running call centers and doing low-level IT work for western firms. Then, in the 2000s, it started taking on higher-level IT tasks, offering management consulting services, and performing sophisticated R&D. Now there is another transition happening, one far more significant: a transition to development of innovative technology products.  A Instead of providing IT services as the big outsourcing companies do, a new breed of startups is developing high-value products based on intellectual property.

But so far, the biggest inhibitor of youth entrepreneurship in India has been the social stigma associated with failure and the low social esteem bestowed on startups....

Yes Veena I am in total agreement with your view point. In my opinion the scene is changing for the better.

Add your argument:

lack of integrated infrastructural facilities

idea posted by souren DIRECTOR NICCO FINANCIAL SERVICES LTD.,, Microfinance Focus Magazine
In India no doubt training facilities have grown by leaps and bound but there is no cohesive integration developed to groom young people to become entrepreneur. Of late some efforts are afoot in this direction but it is just a knee-jerk effort as there is need for paradigm change and develop a holistic strategy to groom youngsters to become entrepreneurs.

Infrastructure is very poor in India & in many areas it is practically inhibiting the growth of youth entrepreneurs.

The markets or targeted segments of customers anticipated before starting up the new business are likely to react differently after the startup. Many such failure stories demoralize the new entrepreneurs...

Ya market variations can also play an important role & inhibit the process youth entrepreneurs.

Add your argument:

Encouragment & Support from Family and Friends

idea posted by Mahesh Girijan Recruitment Operations, -----
Lack of encouragment and support from the family also is one of the inhibitors. Most of the young entreprenuers have ideas and interest towards business, but they also require a support from the family or friends side, which would actually bolster their confidence level.

funding

idea posted by S. Muralidharan Executive Director, Knowledge Foundation & Campus Around the Corner
Funding is the major inhibitor for innovation. No one would like to fund for R&D projects. Every funder looks for time-tested projects and therefore the drive in youth entrepreneur stops there! Youth entrepreneurs should look for Unique projects to carve a niche, otherwise, they will have to face a stiff competition from the able businessmen.

Every one ideates. Not all ideas become reality. If one is persistent with inner conviction, no matter what comes mid-way, the idea will succeed!
