Indian entrepreneurs are increasingly taking this to heart as we begin to see an explosion of young, ambitious minds looking to dream and build changes that would revolutionize our country. The early wave of entrepreneurs, influenced by the Silicon Valley success stories, adapted and re-tooled success habits to fit India’s uniqueness. Some succeeded while some fell hard. The focus on addressing the local need and finding business opportunities has grown tremendously since then. And now, we have several homegrown success stories of scale and growth to get inspired and learn from. Entrepreneurs and founders who have built great brands and successful companies have a lot to offer in terms of learning for budding entrepreneurs.
