Entrepreneurs are the pillar of the nation, driving industrialization, employment creation, rural development, technological development, export promotion, and contributing to national income. While globalization has opened up several opportunities for business executives in India, building an operational structure for a company from scratch is not a small feat. The initial years of establishing a business and sustaining the harsh market conditions tests resilience and tenancy of the enterprise. Overcoming those challenges and carving a place for itself amongst competitors is another hurdle a company has to pass.

For an emerging company to survive and thrive, it is crucial to have a clear mission and vision, effective leadership, funding and resources, strategic planning, and finally a skilled team that collectively pulls off an excellent execution. The transition of a company from early to mature stage requires external equity funding, which remains a challenge for several Small and Medium Enterprises. Startups in sectors other than e-commerce and fintech often find it hard to secure funding. Legal and regulatory boundations pose another hurdle. Infrastructure too poses a challenge to scale any business. Despite challenges, a select few companies rise above adversity and bring a storm in the market. Their success stories demonstrate perseverance and ingenuity.
