Scope of Entrepreneurship development in India

INTRODUCTION
India is a very young nation – just over 61 years since independence – setting out
on a path of sustained economic growth, for decades to come.

We already have over a billion fellow Indians. Within the next 20 years, we will
have 400 million people below the age of 35 years – more than the entire
population of the United States! Each person, in this bold new generation, will be
in the prime of his or her life, striving for a better tomorrow – creating, in the
process, new growth opportunities, for budding entrepreneurs!

On the most conservative basis, our domestic consumption, in virtually any sector,
has the potential to at least double, or treble, from current levels – perhaps, just to
catch up with a country like China.

Then, there is the entire global opportunity, across diverse sectors internationally,
the "Made in India" tag is now an increasingly respected brand, valued for quality,
reliability, and competitiveness.

Truly, with economic reforms in the country, and with the virtual removal of all
trade barriers, the world is now our market and our opportunity.

The pursuit of these opportunities requires an indomitable spirit of

entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship is often a difficult undertaking, as a vast majority of new
businesses fail. Entrepreneurial activities are substantially different depending on
the type of organization that is being started. Entrepreneurship ranges in scale from
solo projects (even involving the entrepreneur only part-time) to major
undertakings creating many job opportunities. Many "high-profile" entrepreneurial
ventures seek venture capital or angel funding in order to raise capital to build the
business. Angel investors generally seek returns of 20-30% and more extensive
involvement in the business

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Definition
Entrepreneurship is niegther science nor an art . It is the practice. It has a
knowledge base . -- Peter Drucker
Entrepreneurship is the practice of starting new organizations or revitalizing
mature organizations, particularly new businesses generally in response to
identified opportunities.

Entrepreneurship is a creative human act involving the mobilization of resources

from one level of productive use to a higher level of use. "It is the process by
which the individual pursue opportunities without regard to resources currently
controlled."

Entrepreneurship involves a willingness to take responsibility and ability to put

mind to a task and see it through from inception to completion. Another ingredient
of entrepreneurship is sensing opportunities, while others see chaos, contradiction,
and confusion. Essence of Entrepreneurship is going against time with maturity and
serving as a change agent.

SCOPE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
In India there is a dearth of quality people in industry, which demands high level of
entrepreneurship development programme through out the country for the growth
of Indian economy.

The scope of entrepreneurship development in country like India is tremendous.

Especially since there is widespread concern that the acceleration in GDP growth
in the post reforms period has not been accompanied by a commensurate expansion
in employment. Results of the 57th round of the National Sample Survey
Organization (NSSO) show that unemployment figures in 2003-04 were as high as
8.9 million. Incidentally, one million more Indian joined the rank of the
unemployed between 2005-06 & 2007-08. The rising unemployment rate (9.2%
2008 est.) in India has resulted in growing frustration among the youth. In addition
there is always problem of underemployment. As a result, increasing the
entrepreneurial activities in the country is the only solace. Incidentally, both the
reports prepared by Planning Commission to generate employment opportunities
for 10 crore people over the next ten years have strongly recommended self-
employment as a way-out for teaming unemployed youth.

We have all the requisite technical and knowledge base to take up the
entrepreneurial challenge. The success of Indian entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley is
evident as proof. The only thing that is lacking is confidence and mental
preparation. We are more of a reactive kind of a people. We need to get out of this
and become more proactive. What is more important than the skill and knowledge
base is the courage to take the plunge. Our problem is we do not stretch ourselves.
However, it is appreciative that the current generations of youth do not have hang-
ups about the previous legacy and are willing to experiment. Theses are the people
who will bring about entrepreneurship in India.

At present, there are various organizations at the country level & state level
offering support to entrepreneurs in various ways. The Govt. of India & various
State Govts. have been implementing various schemes & programmes aimed at
nurturing entrepreneurship over last four decades. For example, MCED in
Maharashtra provides systematic training, dissemination of the information & data
regarding all aspects of entrepreneurship & conducting research in
entrepreneurship. Then there are various Govt. sponsored scheme for the budding
entrepreneurs.

Recognizing the importance of the entrepreneur development in economic growth

& employment generation, Maharashtra Economic Development Council (MEDC)
has identified entrepreneurial development as the one of the focus area for Council
activities two years ago.

Various Chambers of Commerce & apex institutions have started organizing

seminars & workshops to promote entrepreneurship. Incidentally, various
management colleges have incorporated entrepreneurship as part of their
curriculum. This is indeed a good development. This shows the commitment of the
Govt. & the various organizations towards developing entrepreneurial qualities in
the individuals.

CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Future Perspective
Entrepreneurship as in the past will determine technical innovations, status of
social institutions and political management systems. On the basis of these factors,
we can expect the future to be a place where basic needs will remain and only the
wants will change. India will overcome the barriers of infrastructure; we will also
visualize a strong manufacturing and agricultural sector.

Entrepreneurs and not managers will be in demand, as only they will be equipped
to find order in chaos. The focus of entrepreneurial energy will shift from
achieving volume sales to fulfill a specific requirement. Governance will become
more transparent and will be willing to accept changes necessary for growth and
development. More autonomy will become the basis of all issues.

The future will see Entrepreneurship as the key driver of economic development
Technological obsolescence will become order of the day and there will be more
space for leisure. New businesses will be credited with providing variety of new
jobs in the economy. New and small business will also develop more than their
share of product and service innovation. At one end we will see the technological
upheavals in quick succession and on the other end there will be social value
systems and cultural issues undergoing slow but dynamic transformations.

TOP COMPANIES IN INDIA

Reliance Industries Limited

This is the largest private sector conglomerate in India founded by Dhirubhai
Amabani with an annual turnover of about US$ 35.9.This Fortune Global 500
company have its businesses in materials and energy value chain. It enjoys the
position of the global leadership and is also the largest producer of yarn and fibre
in the world. It ranks among the top ten producers across the globe in major
petrochemical products. The primary subsidiaries of the company are Reliance
Retail Limited and Reliance Petroleum Limited along with Reliance Industrial
Infrastructure Limited.

Dhirubhai Ambani
A proud son of this glorious state of Gujarat, and a man with long ties with this
wonderful city of Ahmedabad, was the greatest example of this spirit of
entrepreneurship!

In a short span of less than 25 years, and without even the benefit of a formal
education, Dhirubhai Ambani built Reliance, a first generation enterprise, into one
of the world’s 200 most profitable companies!

He started out in life, working as a mere petrol pump attendant in Aden, Yemen. He
had no technical knowledge, of any of the businesses he wished to create in India.
Products & Brands
The Company expanded into textiles in 1975. Since its initial public offering in
1977, the Company has expanded rapidly and integrated backwards into other
industry sectors, most notably the production of petrochemicals and the refining of
crude oil.
The Company now has operations that span from the exploration and production
of oil and gas to the manufacture of petroleum products, polyester products,
polyester intermediates, plastics, polymer intermediates, chemicals and synthetic
textiles and fabrics.
The Company from time to time seeks to further diversify into other industries. In
January 2006, the Company approved a plan to establish a retail business through a
subsidiary Reliance Retail Limited that will operate, among other things,
supermarkets, convenience stores and specialty stores across India. The Company
approved initial expenditure of US$ 750 million to fund the initial stages of this
plan.
The Company's subsidiary Reliance Jamnagar Infrastructure Limited is currently
establishing infrastructure facilities such as roads and buildings for the proposed
Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Jamnagar, Gujarat.
The Company's major products and brands, from oil and gas to textiles are tightly
integrated and benefit from synergies across the Company. Central to the
Company's operations is its vertical backward integration strategy; raw materials
such as PTA, MEG, ethylene, propylene and normal paraffin that were previously
imported at a higher cost and subject to import duties are now sourced from within
the Company. This has had a positive effect on the Company's operating margins
and interest costs and decreased the Company's exposure to the cyclicality of
markets and raw material prices. The Company believes that this strategy is also
important in maintaining a domestic market leadership position in its major product
lines and in providing a competitive advantage.
The Company's operations can be classified into four segments namely:
• Petroleum Refining and Marketing business
• Petrochemicals business
• Oil and Gas Exploration & Production business
 • Others
The Company's refinery at Jamnagar is the third largest refinery at a single
location in the world.
The Company is:
• The world's largest producer of Polyester Fibre and Yarn
o 4th largest producer of Paraxylene (PX) and Purified Terepthalic
Acid (PTA)
• 6th largest producer of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)
• 7th largest producer of Polypropylene (PP)

Milestones
• Starting as a small textile company, Reliance has in its journney crossed
several milestones to become a Fortune 500 company in less than 3
decades.
• Reliance continues to cross newer & bigger
milestones in its quest for what is known as
"Growth is Life".

History

The roots of the State Bank of India rest in the first decade of 19th
century, when the Bank of Calcutta, later renamed the Bank of Bengal,
was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of Bengal and two other
Presidency banks, namely, the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15
April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). All
three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies, and
were the result of the royal charters. These three banks received the
exclusive right to issue paper currency in 1861 with the Paper Currency
Act, a right they retained until the formation of the Reserve Bank of
India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the
reorganized banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The
Imperial Bank of India continued to remain a joint stock company.

Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act (1955), the
Reserve Bank of India, which is India's central bank, acquired a
controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India. On 30 April 1955 the
Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India.

Offices of the Bank of Bengal

In 1959 the Government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary

Banks) Act, enabling the State Bank of India to take over eight former
State-associated banks as its subsidiaries. On Sept 13, 2008, State Bank
of Saurashtra, one of its Associate Banks, merged with State Bank of
India.

Enterprises (MSME) in terms of output, employment and exports and instilling a
competitive culture based on heightened technology awareness."
The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has been recognised as
engine of growth all over the world. Many countries of the world have established a
SME Development Agency as the nodal agency to coordinate and oversee all
Government interventions in respect of the development of this sector. In the case of
India, also Medium establishment has for the first time been defined in terms of
separate Act, governing promotion and development of Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises (MSME) i.e. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) development
Act, 2006 (which has come into force from 02nd Oct, 2006) the Office of
Development Commissioner (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) functions as the
nodal Developmet Agency under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises(MSME).

Office of Development Commissioner (SSI) was established in 1954 on the basis

of the recommendations of the Ford Foundation. Over the years, it has seen its role
evolve into an agency for advocacy, hand holding and facilitation for the small
industries sector. It has over 70 offices and 21 autonomous bodies under its
management. These autonomous bodies include Tool Rooms, Training Institutions and
Project-cum-Process Development Centres. Office of the Development Commissioner
(MSME) provides a wide spectrum of services to the Micro, Small and Medium
Industrial sector. These include facilities for testing, toolmenting, training for
entrepreneurship development, preparation of project and product profiles, technical
and managerial consultancy, assistance for exports, pollution and energy audits etc.

services and advises Government in policy formulation for the promotion and
development of SSIs. The field offices also work as effective links between the Central
and the State Governments.

required to face new challenges. Office of the Development Commissioner (MSME)
has recognised the changed environment and is currently focusing on providing
support in the fields of credit, marketing, technology and infrastructure to MSMEs.

BPO
BUSINESS OUTSOURSING PROCESSING
DEFINITION
Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a form of
outsourcing that involves the contracting of the
operations and responsibilities of a specific business
functions (or processes) to a third-party service provider.
Originally, this was associated with manufacturing firms,
such as Coca Cola that outsourced large segments of its
supply chain.. In the contemporary context, it is primarily
used to refer to the outsourcing of services.
BPO is typically categorized into back office outsourcing -
which includes internal business functions such as human
resources or finance and accounting, and front office
outsourcing - which includes customer-related services
such as contact center services.

Industry size/ Growth

India has revenues of 10.9 billion USD[2] from offshore BPO and 30 billion USD
from IT and total BPO (expected in FY 2008). India thus has some 5-6% share of
the total BPO Industry, but a commanding 63% share of the offshore component.
This 63% is a drop from the 70% offshore share that India enjoyed last year,
despite the industry growing 38% in India last year, other locations like Eastern
Europe, Philippines, Morocco, Egypt and South Africa have emerged to take a
share of the market. China is also trying to grow from a very small base in this
industry. However, while the BPO industry is expected to continue to grow in
India, its market share of the offshore piece is expected to decline. Important
centers in India are Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and New
Delhi.
The top five Indian BPO exporters for 2006-2007 according to NASSCOM are :-
Genpact,
WNS Global Services,
Transworks Information Services,
IBM Daksh,
TCS,
HCL,
WIPRO,
And Dell BPO.
According to McKinsey, the global "addressable" BPO market is worth $122 -
$154 billion, of which: 35-40 retail banking, 25-35 insurance, 10-12
travel/hospitality, 10-12 auto, 8-10 telecoms, 8 pharma, 10-15 others and 20-25 is
finance, accounting and HR. Moreover, they estimate that 8% of that capacity was
utilized as of 2006
