Why you need to be an Entrepreneur......???

Lot of people asked me this question to which I didn't had any reply. It was a time that I dreamt to be business man in future but there was no reason to justify that. It was the time that i didn't know what to do, then came to my life was TATA Jagriti Yatra. It emphasized on ELD (Enterprise Led Development).

This concept was very nascent and new to many people but during this period I understood that this concept has major significance to and for India. The reason why enterprise led development and why it is relevant to business men and general public of India.

Let us think why India needs enterprises. 62 years after Independence,we have to renew our institutions.

Half glass full view:

A young republic 62 years old born secular, plural and diverse - a subcontinent A successful democracy – 1.1 Billion strong, 15 general elections, growth at >5% even now. Seen by the world as an emerging giant, A young demography, economists talk of 30 yr demographic dividend

Half glass empty view:

350 Million people earn below $1 per day, 850 Million earn below $3 per day. This enormous disparity among regions and people with in the country. Low on Human Development Index, High on Corruption index, Old institutions, colonial bureaucracy, deficit of trust in society. Democracy as votes, rather than democracy as participation

My view:

India itself is a young enterprise that is growing and needs renewal. A need to shift gears, engage larger population to participate in building India. Enterprise Led Development as a movement in today youth's ideology.

This can only been done by creating Enterprises in the country that is the reason why i chose to be Entrepreneur in Future.
