Unlike traditional businesses, measuring the success or failure of startups is a complex task. Regular businesses are often evaluated based on their performance over a specific number of years of operation. However, startups and scale-ups, which are established startups, operate differently. They undergo various stages of growth, and their success or failure is more accurately measured in different phases of their development.
The Startup India initiative aims to build a strong ecosystem that supports and nurtures innovation. The initiative provides startups with access to mentorship, networking opportunities, and incubation facilities to help them refine their business models and strategies. The government has also facilitated access to funding through various channels, including venture capital, angel investors, and government-funded schemes. By fostering innovation, the initiative aims to propel India to the forefront of global innovation hubs.
