We are currently witnessing changes in almost everything, be it technology development, change of the mode of education, market fluctuations and many more. The major change which we will be talking about today is Startups. If you would’ve asked 10 years ago to people about starting their own business , the quantity of people who would’ve actually said yes could have been very low. The people used to perceive startups as a gamble, where they were unaware about the winning percentage. Everybody wanted to earn loads of money, but very few were actually willing to earn money from their startup. People were feared the amount of money and all their hard work which they will will lose. But now the situation is completely changed, the mindset of people which they used to had about startups is completely changed.Startups are now seen as an opportunity by the everyone, where they invest their money. Even in India we saw many successful startups, which started from nothing and now they are giving very tough competitions to the global MNCs. The success story of these startups are worth sharing and many more people should know about them so people can get inspired by them and can start their own venture without giving it a second thought.
