What do Indian investors look for while evaluating investment readiness of ventures?

Abstract

A number of young minds are seeking to set up companies on their own and capitalize on the opportunities to make it big. Countries across the globe have come to realize that having a well-developed entrepreneurial eco system is essential for the long-term growth of the economy, as opposed to just having large scale industries and corporations. In 2013, almost 25 million Americans had entrepreneurial ventures of their own, and almost 8 million people estimated that they would be employing at least six people in the next few years. Almost 70 % of new businesses in the United States start at home, and almost 60% percent of established businesses are home based. This trend is due to rapid development in technology in the last decade or so. Innovation and technical capability are essential in several knowledge-based sectors. The United States ensures that the market is conducive to setting up of entrepreneurial ventures, by ensuring that there is a well- developed eco system for investors, technology experts, entrepreneurs etc., thus resulting in the US having one of the highest entrepreneurship rates in the world.
