Startup Incubation in Agriculture Sector.pptxPappu Kumar
Startup culture thrives on the spirit of youthful ambition, fueled by fresh ideas and cutting-edge technology. Driven by innovators with a keen eye for market opportunities, startups disrupt existing norms or carve out entirely new spaces. Understanding the crucial role of its people in shaping the economy, the Indian Government, led by Narendra Modi, intro-duces the game-changing "Startup India" initiative. This bold move recognizes the latent talents of Indians and their eagerness to contribute to national growth. Despite many nur-turing dreams of starting their own businesses, financial hurdles often stand in their way. Enter Startup India, a supportive platform that aims to empower aspiring entrepreneurs, helping them turn their concepts into successful ventures. By fostering an environment where creativity flourishes, this initiative not only boosts economic progress but also ele-vates India's global standing. Through Startup India, the government is unlocking the na-tion's potential, steering it towards a brighter and more prosperous future for all. The term 'Incubation' originates from the Latin word 'incubation', which the an-cient Romans used to describe a practice of nurturing basic ideas until they blossomed into grand visions over time. When we talk about business start-up incubators today, we're borrowing and adapting the concept from medicine. These are places that support new ventures during their vulnerable early stages by offering physical spaces, communication tools, social connections, and access to funding. Being associated with an incubator and its sponsors also brings credibility and respectability to these startups. Moreover, incubators provide expert guidance and support from professionals to help these ventures thrive (Smilor & Gill, 1986; Aernoudt, 2004; Bollingtoft & Ulhoi, 2005).It's reported that the idea of business incubators started in the USA back in 1959 and then spread to Europe, South Korea, and other places in the late 1900s. In India, the government was quick to jump on board with the concept, launching a big nationwide pro-gram for business incubation in 2000 under the National Science and Technology Entre-preneurship Development Board (NSTEDB), which falls under the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India (NSTEDB Report, 2009).

Government support through policies improving the business environment are also encouraged to help MSMEs drive growth and employment in India.

India Leadership Conclave 2019 - "Opportunities" - The 5 Trillion Dollar Miss...Indian Affairs
India's $5 trillion-economy plans looks good on paper but it needs to address gaps. India Leadership Conclave is of the opinion that India needs foreign direct investment (FDI) urgently, and lots of it. Since FDI, unlike portfolio investment, is long-term patient capital, entrepreneurs and bankers like to examine proposals very carefully.
India’s record on the dispute resolution front has also proved to be extremely worrying. That is why most investors prefer to insert a clause allowing for international arbitration from a seat outside of India.

Globally, the number of startup companies has rapidly expanded during the last 5-8 years. Offering
products and/or services that greatly enhance the lives of its clients is a major focus for these firms. In India,
local and federal government initiatives have provided new enterprises and entrepreneurs with much
momentum and assistance, helping India become the world's top startup location. The Government of India
(GOI) launched the "Startup India" campaign in 2015 to promote entrepreneurship and support businesses to
achieve this goal (Babu, S., Sridevi, K.,2019). An IBM Center for Business Value and Oxford Economics study
in 2018 found that 90% of Indian companies fail within the first five years of operation. Potential difficulties
that startups may run across, both generally and specifically in the Indian market, have been described by
several authors.

21. Conclusions
• The current economic scenario in India is on expansion mode.
• The Indian government has put a number of liberal policies and schemes
in place.
• Contributions of start-ups will have cascading effect on economy and
employment generation.
• Initiatives like ‘Make in India’, ‘Start-up India’, ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ etc.
will encourage entrepreneurs to join the band wagon.

22. Conclusions(Continued)
• Entrepreneurs should avoid the pitfalls which could kill an enterprise.
• Being a country with large population, opportunities available are many for
start-ups.
• Start-up ecosystem could arrest brain drain improving availability of local
talent for Indian companies.
• Some of the start-ups may become unicorns.
• Public/private institutions cannot provide employment to every student
coming out of college, as such, entrepreneurship is a viable alternative for
Indian youth.
