Government helping start ups, other countries noticing start ups and Innovative initiatives of start ups
We at eGrowth begin a newsletter to ensure that all of us get the news that empower and inspire us.
We all know that a country is known by its citizens. Though India is well known for its professionals like engineers and doctors, it has not been known for its entrepreneurs, though there are many of us who have indeed achieved a lot. One of the reasons could be because many people have been averse to charting their own path until recently. The fact however is that only those who have been able to do so have etched a path for themselves, whatever their field may be. If people wish to genuinely become doctors, engineers or salaried professionals, they should of course follow that path. If however they wish to start their own enterprise then too they should be encouraged to do so. This is indeed happening slowly but steadily.
Very often we feel the government is not doing much to help anyone, especially in business. This is not really true as the government is indeed helping all of us to step into the area of start ups, whether it in urban areas or even in other regions. We bring to you two initiatives that showcase initiatives of the government, one in Karnataka and the other in North East.
On another note, Estonia as a country is looking at India as a source of entrepreneurs. This, more than anything else, shows the level where India has reached in the perception of the world as a land with entrepreneurs. According to me, this is real “India shining”, a phrase many people often use for several reasons.
Another development that is being observed is that startups in India are often using many innovative methods to showcase their products and ideas. After all, India has always been the land of innovation and creativity.
In this environment, we at eGrowth are proud to be associated with entrepreneurs of all kinds and connecting many of them for leading a complete life.
One of the premium members whom we are proud to be associated with is Dharmishta Shah. Her interview in this newsletter makes us more aware of her as a person and her journey in becoming an active professional.
We include an interview with Thasneem Masood, who is working on making fashion stylish and sustainable in a world that is often not able to combine principles with business.
Apart from business, we need to of course take care of our own selves too. In the first newsletter, we bring to you an interview with Dr Salila Tewari, the mission of whose life is to help people move towards health using the simple technique of nature cure.
Hope you all enjoy reading our newsletter and look forward to the next one.
