Ashoka Business School, Nashik
Now is the right time…
Co- founder and chairman Emeritus of Infosys once told about India’s environment in the early
1980s as "extremely business-unfriendly". Slow bureaucracy and long-winded procedures meant
just getting the basic technology required to run a company was a battle. He recalls waiting a year
to get a telephone connection and three years for a licence to import a computer. Still he dared to
start his company along with his six friends by taking a loan of Rs 10000/- from his wife.
Now come to year 2019, Kalyani Shinde, an engineering graduate, registered her company Godaam
Innovations using Udyog Aadhaar and within the span of six months she was able to get investment
of Rs 1.5 cr. from different Impact Investors. This indicates India’s “extremely business-friendly”
environment.
Yes, business environment of India has changed a lot; there are many government schemes and
agencies to support entrepreneurship. E- Cell is now present in almost every university, engineering
college and management institute, many incubation centres, like Digital Impact Square, are started
by big corporate houses to promote entrepreneurship.
The kind of support for entrepreneurship and necessary ecosystem which is present today was never
seen in the history of India.
Financial crunch was a very big problem for the budding entrepreneurs two decades ago. Now if
you have a great idea and a dedicated team along with you, there are many options for you. Angel
investors, venture capitalist, schemes like MUDRA are there to support you. Start-up Festival is a
common picture now days where Investors and promoters of start-up meet each other. And due to
competition, nationalise banks are becoming little bit liberal while granting loan to the
entrepreneurs.
Registration, clearance from various government departments compliances related to Income Tax
were frantic activities for new business ventures. Now you can register through the Start-up India

portal easily and avail many benefits like self-compliance under 3 environmental and 6 labour laws,
Income tax exemption for 3 consecutive years etc.
For sustainable growth any business idea must be scalable. With the help of IoT, AI and other
technological advancements now it is possible to scale up almost every business idea. How the
technology helps to grow the business? Here is the answer- T.I.M.E is India's leading test-prep
institute with a pan-India presence started in 1992 has a turnover of Rs 313 Cr. in FY 2018-19. On
the other hand, 1430 Cr. is earned in FY 2018-19 by BYJU'S – the Learning App, developed by
Think and Learn Pvt Ltd, established by Byju Raveendran in 2011.
There is a change in the mind-set of students. Kaushalendra Kumar, a gold medallist of 2007 batch
of IIM-A, rejected very attractive packages and started Kaushalya Foundation to make his home
state, Bihar, a vegetable hub. Instead of getting placed, starting own business is a new trend now
amongst students of IIM.
Same trend can be seen in the tier II cities like Nasik. Many students meet me and express their
desire of becoming an entrepreneur, but when I ask them a question “When are you going to start
your own venture?” I get typical answers like after working for next 3-4 years will be starting, but
after 3-4 years it doesn’t start. And most astonishing fact is that after working for so many years the
desire to become an entrepreneur also vanishes.
Therefore if someone wants to start own business, the idea should be implemented immediately.
According to me dignity and security means independence, and now is the right time to become
independent…
