“Whatever you do, be different – that was the advice my mother gave me, and I can’t think of a better advice for an entrepreneur. If you’re different, you will stand out.” – Anita Roddick
The major difference between the high-income and low-income economies lies in the extent to which the country is industrialized. The economies have transitioned from low income to high income by undergoing industrialization, reducing their dependence on agriculture and natural resources and thereby showcasing a globally attractive market for investments. And by using the term ‘industrialization’, it means the advancing manufacturing of goods and services and making sure that it contributes to the highest percentage of the GDP.
In India, start-ups are blooming in various fields ranging from education, IT, real-estate, e-commerce etc. Various initiatives have been taken by government to promote start-ups. Some initiatives like ‘Start-up India’, ‘Make in India’ and ‘Mudra Bank’ have helped the start-ups in terms of tax exemption, capitalization etc. But the problem has not been solved at the grass roots level. The issue of execution still remains an issue in the country.

Entrepreneurs are viewed with a healthy dose of awe in today's society. They are the visionaries, the pioneers and the heroes of their stories. Yet they, like the rest of us, also suffer the odd day that sees a dip in their usual energy levels. These days can stretch into weeks if not kept in check which could spell disaster for someone looking to build a career in entrepreneurship. So to my fellow procrastinators out there, here is a quick list of tips to help you master your work space and conquer that elusive beast "productivity".
When I first heard about this merger, it was surprising, but on giving it a little thought, it made a significant bit of sense.
Today is just one of those days. An empty stomach leads to an angry mind. An angry mind is a big impediment in staying rational. So, I write this after ensuring I've eaten well!
