Entrepreneurship and Economic Sustainability

In today's world, start-ups and entrepreneurs are creating major impact in the economy not only in India and emerging economies but also in developed economies across the world. Every sector is going through huge transformational changes brought by innovative solutions designed and developed by bright entrepreneurial community across the globe. New and innovative products and solutions developed by the entrepreneurs are not only impacting people's lives in positive ways but are also contributing towards the emergence of significant socio-economic factors affecting entrepreneurship development. For the young minds to flourish and innovate, enabling environment needs to be created to boost their entrepreneurial mindset. Education has always been the backbone of every big change that we have seen in the past. Educators have had a big role to play in building this mindset among youth to be innovative entrepreneurs and solve pertinent problems. Young minds have to be trained and groomed to be problem solvers very early in their lives. Governments have to come up with policies and framework to enable entrepreneurship and motivate founders to come up with more effective ways of doing things. A strong network of mentors and advisors has to be built who will act as backbone of this start-up ecosystem and guide the entrepreneurs in their journey. Last, but by no means the least, important is fund flow for entrepreneurs to succeed in their growth journey. This book briefly discussed all these elements in the form of chapter contribution from people of varied background and experiences. This book is expected to be a good reference material for the library, educational institutions and for everyone that have an interest in entrepreneurship research.
