Challenges and Opportunities for Indian Start-Up
Startups are essentially of two kinds. One that starts something ground up, something that no one has thought about and is often ground breaking. This type of startup is difficult to create but once created often sees unprecedented growth. The second kind of startups that we see around us are primarily the ones that do not want to reinvent the wheel. They are akin to adding old sauce in a new dish to create something new and innovative.
Whatever may be the kind of startup, Indian startups face its own set of challenges and some stellar opportunities. The challenges can be classified as:
Culture - Entrepreneurship and startups are only a recent phenomenon in the country. It is only in the last decade and half that people in the country have moved from being job seekers to job creators. Doing a startup is tough and every country sees more failures than success.
Mentoring - Doing a startup is perilous and often a lonely journey. You may have co-founders, but you may not necessarily possess the business acumen to succeed.Having a brilliant idea is different from making that idea a business success.

Leaders Speak Magazine Description:

Leaders speak will be a touchstone for the media companies across the world. We will not only report the cybercrimes but also provide the solutions. The magazine will serve as single window solution for the cybercrimes. The exponential dimensions of cybercrime are challenging the human imagination. A simple virus unleashed by a criminal can bring untold miseries. A mighty nation can be brought to its knees. The modern battlefield for World War III will not be the geographical borders of the countries but a small control room housing a few innocuous computers. When Iran stonewalled all US attempts to stall its N programmes in 2013, Israel let loose lethal viruses which disrupted and rendered dysfunctional Iran’s computer programmes concerning with Nuclear research. In 2012 and the year after, China and US both indulged in a sort of cyber war unleashing viruses against each other. At a micro level, a gullible common man like you and me is defenseless against the cyber menace. No more. Leaders Speak is a panacea to all kinds of cyber ills. We are a single window solution as mentioned above, overarching all aspects of one’s life.
