Being an entrepreneur requires one to embrace ambiguity and be comfortable with being pushed regularly. Especially when it comes to building the business from the scratch, choosing this path requires undying faith, perseverance, and laser focus. But most creative minds who aspire to be budding entrepreneurs lack the knowledge of transforming their idea into reality. Before starting up, questions like “How do we select cofounders?”, “How do we do market research?”, “How to register a startup?”, “Whether the idea is practical?” and “How to execute it?” will ponder around in their minds.
