Igniting entrepreneurship for India’s growth

Hindustan Times  

India is on the brink of a transformative era. As a powerful job multiplier, entrepreneurship is critical for meeting India’s need for one crore new jobs annually, addressing the brain drain, and leveraging India’s demographic dividend for sustainable growth. Additionally, India’s six crore micro, small, and medium enterprises hold vast potential—if just 10% of them added 1-2 jobs annually, they could meet India’s need for one crore new jobs each year. To further unlock India’s entrepreneurial potential, a National Jobs Platform that integrates solutions for nano, micro, and mainstream entrepreneurs, upskills talent and connects job seekers with employers in an open and accessible system could go a long way in accelerating India’s job and economic growth. By implementing inclusive policies, strategic investments, and technology-driven public-private partnerships, India can deliver accessible solutions for entrepreneurs and workers alike, unlocking unparalleled job creation and economic growth.
