Indian entrepreneurs face several key challenges including family challenges in convincing family members that a business will be more profitable than joining the family business or getting a job. Social challenges also exist when friends who get jobs are able to purchase assets sooner. Technological challenges arise because the education system does not prepare entrepreneurs for online business models. Financial challenges also exist as it is difficult for new online entrepreneurs to get initial funding from banks or investors who do not understand new business models. Government policies also frequently change, creating uncertainty.
1. INDIA SPECIFIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP CHALLENGES ARE
Family Challenges: Convincing to opt for business over job is easy is not an easy task for an
individual. The first thing compared is – Will you make more money in business of your
choice or as a successor of family business. This is where it becomes almost impossible to
convince that you can generate more cash with your passion than doing what your Dad is
doing.
Social Challenges: Family challenges are always at the top because that is what matter the
most but at times social challenges also are very important. Let us say you and your friend
graduated at the same time. You opted for entrepreneurship and your friend opted for a
job. He now has a flat, car and what not because he could easily get those with a bank loan
but you still have nothing to show off and this is where challenge comes.
Technological Challenges: Indian education system lags too much from the Job industry as
a whole but then it lags even more when it comes to online entrepreneurship. What
technology would be ideal and how to use that technology effectively?
Financial Challenges: (Difficulty in borrowing fund): Financial challenges are a lot different
in India especially for online entrepreneurs. When you are starting out as an entrepreneur
you don't opt for venture funding but try to go with funding from small to medium business
people. Many such non technical business people don't understand the online business
models as a whole and so getting an initial business funding from them becomes
challenging. The other option you can think of is loan but bank loan is not at all an option in
India for new online entrepreneurs.
2. Policy Challenges: Now and then there is lot of changes in the policies with change in the
government. Problems of TRIPS and TRIMS.
