How to start a business in India

 How to start a business in India


It is always the right time to start a business and right now our Prime minister Shri Narendra Modi is promoting and encouraging youth to start a business/entrepreneurship.


Type of entrepreneurship?


1)SME (Small and medium enterprises)

  • SME is a revenue first entrepreneurship

  • When you start a business by putting a factory or a manufacturing unit you don't consider.

  • Funding, venture capital, and many other steps that you think when you work in an IDE model.


2) IDE (Innovation-driven entrepreneurship)

  • In this type of entrepreneurship, a lot of money is burned initially and there is nothing wrong with it as they are entering a new business model and disrupting the market by introducing new products.

Example- Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla introduced a self-driving electric car and disrupted the market. He needed money so, he took the loan from the US government as it were the money of the taxpayer so he repaired the loan along with the interest.   A lot of people told him that his idea of the electric car will not be accepted by this generation and many big car companies also disagree with his idea. he face a lot of difficulties but today Tesla is considered to be the most valuable company. IDE is difficult as you are innovating something at an early stage.


  • Comparison between SME and IDE

The growth curve of SMEs is linear while the growth of innovation-driven entrepreneurship is like a J- Curve as it goes down initially due to the burning of money or huge investment and then suddenly, massive growth is seen.

1) market segmentation?

Market segmentation is a process of dividing the market of potential customers into smaller and more defined segments on the basis of certain shared characteristics like demographics, interests, needs, or location. it is the first step for the success of the startup.

  • startup success happens when you see through the eyes of the customers and not through the perspective of the company.




2) Beachhead market

the history of the beachhead market is quite interesting. the word "beachhead" came from the army and it is related to war strategy.

for example- one country is planning to attack another country. now the strong country will station their soldiers on the beach and they make post on beach. these are known as "beachhead" and they may posts on beaches.

this is the concept of the "beachhead market" there is a large sea in frant of you but you have to make a sharp attack, therefore you should understand the beachhead market.
