JOB CREATION

Entrepreneurs are the ones who create jobs and increase the production of goods and services, thus helping India become independent. They are also risk-takers, therefore they are more important than managers in a developing country like India.

Make in India

Encouraging entrepreneurship means encouraging more job opportunities. Managers provide service but they can’t create services. We talk about stand-up India, start-up India, and make-in-India. All these cannot be possible without entrepreneurs.

Key to development

India needs more entrepreneurs than managers because entrepreneurs have their own imagination, are willing to take risks to achieve their goals, and they even know when to take decisions. These are the qualities required by a country to develop, and these qualities are not possessed by managers.

Blue eyed boys

Entrepreneurs foster the transition of an economy from developing to developed. They are the blue-eyed boys of our economy, no matter the gender. Anyone can become a manager with a few degrees, but not everyone has the skill to initiate a new business.

PROBLEM SOLVER

A manager always finds the best way to handle whatever situation he comes across. So I believe a good manager is better than an inexperienced entrepreneur. A sinking ship often is hard to rescue .

ENSURES SUCCESS

Today there are more budding entrepreneurs than capable managers. While ideas for a new venture are crucial, success is doubtful if it is not managed properly.
