Teach Entrepreneurship In Schools

Unless we change mindsets at a young age, we will remain a nation of job seekers.

In his second Independence Day speech Prime Minister Narendra Modi put his emphasis squarely on entrepreneurship and job creation through startups by launching a new campaign 'Start up India, Stand up India' and expected 1.25 branches of various banks to promote bank financing for startups by the underprivileged.

The recent focus on startups emanates from the Nasscom Startup Report which revealed interesting statistics that should undoubtedly make us proud.

India is home to around 3,100 startups and by 2020 a projected 11,500 startups would employ 250,000 people across the country. The current volumes as also the projections are no doubt impressive, credible enough to predict a bright future for Indian startups across verticals.
