DARE - Because Entrepreneurs Do

In the post-liberalisation era people no longer obsess over “permanent” sarkari jobs—secure, stable, boring—the way they used to in the license-permit raj. In other words, they are far more open to the idea of starting their own businesses in a country brimming with opportunities for the enterprising sorts.

Awareness of Environment
Knowing where the best opportunities are is obviously critical for success. One way to do this is to join groups like the Entrepreneur Development Cell, or even smaller exchange communities in academic institutions.

Knowing how to raise cash
