45. Indian Attitude towards Entrepreneurship
A great Entrepreneurial Optimism is seen in India now than previously.
A largest chunk of the India’s population is in the age group, and that’s a time when people are the least afraid to take risks.
On the other hand, India’s greatest liability is the corruption in its system, which is a big dampener to entrepreneurship.

46. Global- Indian Entrepreneurship
The social meaning of risk taking varies from country to country.
When you start an enterprise, does your culture allow you to borrow money from friends and relatives? Or even from banks? Some countries encourage entrepreneurship and others don’t .
One measure of a society’s entrepreneurship levels is its attitude towards failure. In China and Japan, there’s a big stigma attached to business failure, making it quite impossible for a failed entrepreneur to recoup and try again. In some societies, business failure marks you for life.

47. Global- Indian Entrepreneurship
On the other hand, in countries like the USA, UK or Israel, it doesn’t necessarily do you any damage, unless you failed because of some unethical conduct.
American business history offers up many instances of tycoons who went bankrupt several times before they built their fortunes. And the American corporate world usually sees entrepreneurial experience as an asset and those who have it are a valued commodity.
If successful entrepreneurs know what to do  The failed ones know what not to do…….Which is equally important.

48. Global- Indian Entrepreneurship
Financial institutions & their policies have a big impact on a country’s entrepreneurship levels.
“The financial institutions of France and Germany generally don’t encourage risk taking”
Britain and Holland are the entrepreneurial champs on the other hand.

Access to information has been the biggest factor contributing to the global mindset in Indian Entrepreneurs.
