Book excerpt: The economic liberalization in India over the last three decades has provided a wealth of opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to start and expand their businesses. Since the economy opened up in the 1990s, entrepreneurial activity in the private sector has been largely responsible for the strong economic growth experienced in the country. India is presently the world’s third largest source of start-ups, and was ranked the second most entrepreneurial country in the world in the recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) report, ahead of large economic powerhouses such as the United States, China and the UK. Entrepreneurship in India looks at the dynamic and changing nature of entrepreneurship in India. The book examines the history of entrepreneurship in India, different entrepreneurship models adopted, the entrepreneurial ecosystem and looks at the future of entrepreneurship in the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India, entrepreneurship has assumed prime importance - both in research and in action - for accelerating economic growth. An entrepreneur is a critical factor who strives to reorient the national strategies and bring out the desired changes in the development pattern. Contrary to the earlier belief that entrepreneurs are a special breed and are born with special traits, entrepreneurship can be cultivated through proper training and financial support. An entrepreneur is a catalyst who can mobilize different resources and put them to effective use. In any nation, women constitute the backbone a country's prosperity. However, the role played by rural women in India's economic development has not been assigned sufficient importance. Women face gender-specific barriers in access to education, health, and employment. As well, women have little control over assets. Women are often under-paid or unpaid for their work. Their contribution to society and the economy are often ignored. This book examines at the role of women entrepreneurship in India's rural areas. The book shows that encouraging women to set up small enterprises - particularly in rural areas - is an effective method to promote their welfare, development, and empowerment.

This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More young people live in India than in any other country and their numbers are projected to increase for decades to come. More than 12 million enter the workforce each year yet few have the skills required for employment. The Government of India has set a target to skill 400 million people by 2022 and established the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) as part of this mission. Through NSDC, government is engaged with private sector partners to advance strategic approaches in skills development by creating public-private partnerships with companies involved in skill training. This is at the centre of a skills business “ecosystem” in India through which all players interact to produce a positive, productive system to skill millions. Momentum for the skills development movement comes not only from the urgent need to provide livelihoods for youth but also from the need to act before a window of opportunity closes. The “youth bulge” in India’s population is poised to deliver a demographic dividend, a transformational boost in economic productivity associated with growing numbers in the workforce relative to dependents. Only through investing in up-to-date education, health and decent work for youth can India harness this dividend. India requires skills to sustain its rapid economic growth, to integrate its large working-age population into the economy in an inclusive and sustainable manner and, ultimately, India needs skills in order to become a global supplier of human resources. This study focuses on 12 skills delivery initiatives led by the private sector and carried out to support the national skills mission of the Government of India. The objective of this study is to generate lessons from India’s experience in skilling, namely to identify and analyse impactful business models and their practices and innovations, to highlight challenges, and to provide insights on how the private sector could contribute even more to skills acquisition and employability.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims at appreciating the need for and relevance of understanding conceptual paradigm of Rural entrepreneurship Development, Emerging entrepreneurial eco-system, Rural Entrepreneurs and the creation of Micro and small village enterprises. Enterprises in rural environments are operating in an arena of extreme and rapid change. However, despite the recognition that entrepreneurship is one of the primary facets through which rural economic development can be achieved, empirical research on rural entrepreneurship is relatively sparse and this concept remains largely unknown. Entrepreneurship is a crucial element for each country that aims to be competitive and developed within knowledge-based world economy. The emerging domain of Rural Entrepreneurship envisions itself as a body of knowledge to accelerate the process of Rural Industrialization in the country. Rural entrepreneurship is currently at the focus of much theoretical, practical and political interest. Rural entrepreneurship stands as a vehicle to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities and to sustain a healthy economy and environment. Rural Entrepreneurship Development (RED) Ecosystem represents a novel and cost-effective strategy for stimulating rural economic prosperity. The need for RED Ecosystem stems from the observation that when we see societies in which entrepreneurship occurs with any regularity or is self-sustaining, we see a unique, complex environment or ecosystem has evolved. This paper draws upon a broader research work based on the doctoral dissertation about the Appraisal of Rural Entrepreneurship Development that makes a focused attempt to address and appraise the issues pertaining to the Rural Entrepreneurship Development (RED) Ecosystem facilitating the development and sustenance of micro and small village enterprise (MSVEs) and the role of various Entrepreneurship Development Institutions fostering rural entrepreneurship and development of micro and small village enterprise (MSVEs) in Haryana and evaluation of various governmental efforts and schemes intended for rural industrialisation through rural poverty alleviation programmes aiming at entrepreneurship development in the rural areas of the economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK The last decade of the 20th century was momentous in the economic history of India as it witnessed a successful transition of India from a controlled, inward looking, and slow growing economy to a liberalised and open economy that has now found a place amongst the fastest growing economies in the world. Responding to the macroeconomic crisis of late 1980s, a programme of liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation was initiated in July 1991. The purpose of these economic reforms was two-fold: (a) to restore macroeconomic stability on both domestic and external fronts and (b) to place the economy on a higher growth path through enhanced levels of investment, and improvements in productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. The present volume contains scholarly contributions from a cross-section of experts on India?s economic policy and business environment. The wide-ranging topics discussed in the volume provide an insight into the present state of the Indian economy and its future prospects.
