Introduction
India is a very young nation – just over 67 years of independence – setting out on a path of
sustained economic growth for decades to come.
We already have over a billion fellow Indians. Within the next 20 years, we will have 400
million people below the age of 35 years – more than the entire population of United States.
Each person in this bold new generation will be in the prime of his her life, striving for a better
tomorrow- creating in the process, new growth opportunities, for budding entrepreneurs!
On the most conservative basis, our domestic consumption, in virtually any sector, has the
potential to a least double, or treble, from current levels- perhaps just to catch up with a country
like china.
Then there is entire global opportunity, across diverse sector internationally, the ‘Made in
India’ tag is now an increasing respected brand, valued for quality, reliability and
competitiveness.
Truly, with the economic reforms in the country, with the virtual removal of all trade barriers,
the world is now our market and opportunity.
The pursuit of the opportunity requires an indomitable spirit of entrepreneurship:
Entrepreneurship is often a difficult undertaking as a vast of majority of new business fail.
Entrepenunial activities are substantially different depending upon type of organization that is
being started. It ranges in scale from solo projects (even involving the entrepreneur only part
time) to major undertakings creating many job opportunities. Many high profile entrepreneurial
ventures seek venture capital or angel funding in order to raise capital to build the business.
Angel investors generally seek returns of 20-30% and more extensive involvement in the
business.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurships neither science nor an art. It is the practice. It has a knowledge base.
Entrepreneurship is the practice of starting new organizations or revitalizing mature
organizations, particularly new businesses generally in response to identified opportunities.
Entrepreneurship is a creative human act involving the mobilization of resources from one level
of productive use to a higher level of use. "It is the process by which the individual pursue
opportunities without regard to resources currently controlled. “Entrepreneurship involves a

6. 2
willingness to take responsibility and ability to put mind to a task and see it through from
inception to completion. Another ingredient of entrepreneurship is sensing opportunities, while
others see chaos, contradiction, and confusion. Essence of Entrepreneurship is going against
time with maturity and serving as a change agent.
SCOPE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIPDEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
In India there is a dearth of quality people in industry, which demands high level of
entrepreneurship development programme throughout the country for the growth of Indian
economy. The scope of entrepreneurship development in country like India is tremendous.
Especially since there is widespread concern that the acceleration in GDP growth in the post
reforms period has not been accompanied by a commensurate expansion in employment.
Results of the 57th round of the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) show that
unemployment figures in 2003-04 were as high as8.9 million. Incidentally, one million more
Indian joined the rank of the unemployed between 2005-06 & 2007-08. The rising
unemployment rate (9.2%2008 est.) in India has resulted in growing frustration among the
youth. In addition there is always problem of underemployment. As a result, increasing the
entrepreneurial activities in the country is the only solace. Incidentally, both there ports
prepared by Planning Commission to generate employment opportunities or 10 crore people
over the next ten years have strongly recommended self-employment as a way-out for teaming
unemployed youth. We have all the requisite technical and knowledge base to take up the
entrepreneurial challenge. The success of Indian entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley is evident as
proof. The only thing that is lacking is confidence and mental preparation. We are more of a
reactive kind of a people. We need to get out of the sand become more proactive. What is more
important than the skill and knowledge base is the courage to take the plunge. Our problem is
we do not stretch ourselves. However, it is appreciative that the current generations of youthdo
Not have hang-ups about the previous legacy and are willing to experiment. These are the
people who will bring about entrepreneurship in India. At present, there are various
organizations at the country level & state level offering support to entrepreneurs in various
ways. The Govt. of India & various State Govt.have been implementing various schemes &
programs aimed at nurturing entrepreneurship over last four decades. For example, MCED in
Maharashtra provides systematic training, dissemination of the information & data regarding
all aspects of entrepreneurship & conducting research in entrepreneurship. Then there are
various Govt. sponsored scheme for the budding entrepreneurs. Recognizing the importance of

7. 3
the entrepreneur development in economic growth& employment generation, Maharashtra
Economic Development Council (MEDC) has identified entrepreneurial development as the
one of the focus area for Council activities two years ago. Various Chambers of Commerce &
apex institutions have started organizing seminars & workshops to promote entrepreneurship.
Incidentally, various management colleges have incorporated entrepreneurship as part of their
curriculum. This is indeed a good development. This shows the commitment of the Govt. &
the various organizations towards developing entrepreneurial qualities in the individuals.
CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Future Perspective
Entrepreneurship as in the past will determine technical innovations, status of social institutions
and political management systems. On the basis of these factors, we can expect the future to
be a place where basic needs will remain and only the wants will change. India will overcome
the barriers of infrastructure; we will also visualize a strong manufacturing and agricultural
sector. Entrepreneurs and not managers will be in demand, as only they will be equipped.
The focus of entrepreneurial energy will shift from achieving volume sales to fulfill a specific
requirement. Governance will become more transparent and will be willing to accept changes
necessary for growth and development. More autonomy will become the basis of all issues.
The future will see Entrepreneurship as the key driver of economic development Technological
obsolescence will become order of the day and there will be more space for leisure. New
businesses will be credited with providing variety of new jobs in the economy. New and small
business will also develop more than their share of product and service innovation. At one end
we will see the technological upheavals in quick succession and on the other end there will be
social value systems and cultural issues undergoing slow but dynamic transformations.

TOP COMPANIES IN INDIA
Reliance Industries Limited
This is the largest private sector conglomerate in India founded by Dhirubhai Amabani with an
annual turnover of about US$ 35.9.This Fortune Global 500company have its businesses in
materials and energy value chain. It enjoys the position of the global leadership and is also the
largest producer of yarn and fibre in the world. It ranks among the top ten producers across the
globe in major petrochemical products. The primary subsidiaries of the company are Reliance
Retail Limited and Reliance Petroleum Limited along with Reliance Industrial Infrastructure
Limited.
Dhirubhai Ambani
A proud son of this glorious state of Gujarat, and a man with long ties with this wonderful city
of Ahmedabad, was the greatest example of this spirit of entrepreneurship! In a short span of
less than 25 years, and without even the benefit of a formal education, Dhirubhai Ambani built
Reliance, a first generation enterprise, into one of the world’s 200 most profitable companies!
He started out in life, working as a mere petrol pump attendant in Aden, Yemen. He had no
technical knowledge, of any of the businesses he wished to create in India
Products & Brands
The Company expanded into textiles in 1975. Since its initial public offering in1977, the

9. 5
Company has expanded rapidly and integrated backwards into other industry sectors, most
notably the production of petrochemicals and the refining of crude oil. The Company now has
operations that span from the exploration and production of oil and gas to the manufacture of
petroleum products, polyester products, polyester intermediates, plastics, polymer
intermediates, chemicals and synthetic textiles and fabrics. The Company from time to time
seeks to further diversify into other industries. In January 2006, the Company approved a plan
to establish a retail business through a subsidiary Reliance Retail Limited that will operate,
among other things, supermarkets, convenience stores and specialty stores across India. The
Company approved initial expenditure of US$ 750 million to fund the initial stages of this plan.
The Company's subsidiary Reliance Jamnagar Infrastructure Limited is currently establishing
infrastructure facilities such as roads and buildings for the proposed Special Economic Zone
(SEZ) at Jamnagar, Gujarat. The Company's major products and brands, from oil and gas to
textiles are tightly integrated and benefit from synergies across the Company. Central to the
Company's operations is its vertical backward integration strategy; raw materials such as PTA,
MEG, ethylene, propylene and normal paraffin that were previously imported at a higher cost
and subject to import duties are now sourced from within the Company. This has had a positive
effect on the Company's operating margins and interest costs and decreased the Company's
exposure to the cyclicality of markets and raw material prices. The Company believes that this
strategy is also important in maintaining a domestic market leadership position in its major
product lines and in providing a competitive advantage. The Company's operations can be
classified into four segments namely:
• Petroleum Refining and Marketing business
• Petrochemicals business
• Oil and Gas Exploration & Production business
The Company's refinery at Jamnagar is the third largest refinery at a single location in the
world. The Company is:
The world's largest producer of Polyester Fibre and Yarn
• 4th largest producer of Paraxylene (PX) and Purified TerepthalicAcid (PTA)
• 6th largest producer of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)
7th largest producer of Polypropylene (PP) Milestones
• Starting as a small textile company, Reliance has in its journey crossed several
milestones to become a Fortune 500 company in less than 3decades.

BPO (BUSINESS OUTSOURSING PROCESSING)
DEFINITION
Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a form of outsourcing that involves the contracting of
the operations and responsibilities of a specific business functions (or processes) to a third-
party service provider. Originally, this was associated with manufacturing firms, such as Coca
Cola that outsourced large segments of its supply chain.. In the contemporary context, it is
primarily used to refer to the outsourcing of services. BPO is typically categorized into back
office outsourcing -which includes internal business functions such as human resources or
finance and accounting, and front office outsourcing - which includes customer-related services
such as contact center services.

27. 23
Industry size/ Growth
India has revenues of 10.9 billion USD from offshore BPO and 30 billion USD from IT and
total BPO (expected in FY 2008). India thus has some 5-6% share of the total BPO Industry,
but a commanding 63% share of the offshore component. This 63% is a drop from the 70%
offshore share that India enjoyed last year, despite the industry growing 38% in India last year,
other locations like Eastern Europe, Philippines, Morocco, Egypt and South Africa have
emerged to take a share of the market. Chinas also trying to grow from a very small base in
this industry. However, while the BPO industry is expected to continue to grow in India, its
market share of the offshore piece is expected to decline. Important centers in India are
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and New Delhi.
The top five Indian BPO exporters for 2006-2007 according to NASSCOM are:-
Gen pact
WNS Global Services
Trans works Information Services
IBM Daksh
TCS
HCL
WIPRO
Dell BPO
According to McKinsey, the global "addressable" BPO market is worth $122 -$154 billion, of
which: 35-40 retail banking, 25-35 insurance, 10-12travel/hospitality, 10-12 auto, 8-10
telecoms, 8 pharma, 10-15 others and 20-25 is finance, accounting and HR. Moreover, they
estimate that 8% of that capacity was utilized as of 2006.

CONCLUSION
The entrepreneur with his vision and ability to bear risk can transform the economic scene of
the country. They play a vital role in initiating and sustaining the process of economic
development of a nation. The overall aim of an entrepreneurial development programme is to
stimulate a person for adopting entrepreneurship as a career and to make him able to identify
and exploit the opportunities successfully for new ventures. Practical and cost effective
programs need to be developed to address their needs because self-employed people will
represent important segment in economic revitalization. Entrepreneurship development is the
key factor to fight against unemployment, poverty and to prepare ourselves for globalization
in order to achieve overall Indian economic-progress.
