Global summit to facilitate exchange between India and Korean start-ups

Tomorrow’s India, a global initiative that brings together start-ups from diverse geographies, will host Tomorrow’s India Global Summit in Seoul later this month. Start-ups from India, Korea and Singapore are expected to participate at the event from September 25 to 29 at Seoul Global Start-up Centre.

HP Singh, Founder and Managing Director of Tomorrow’s India, says: “Besides promoting India’s strengths in business, knowledge and culture, we want to make Tomorrow’s India a platform for budding entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas on a global stage and contribute to the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Start-up India, Stand-up India’ campaign.”

The summit will include a focused initiative for start-ups to win on-the-spot funding from international investors who will also join the event from India, South Korea, Mauritius and Singapore.A first event of its kind was held in Singapore in January this year. The second summit in Seoul is being organised in association with Accelerate Korea, Indian Angel Network, and IIT-Delhi’s Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer.

Accelerate Korea acts as a catalyst for developing opportunities between Asia, Europe and North America for the larger entrepreneurial ecosystem. It reportedly also runs indigenous initiatives to support late stage seed, early Series A and SME funding.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare, electronics, automobiles, machine tools, infrastructure, heavy industries and cosmetics sectors are likely to be represented at the summit, while there’s keen interest from companies based in Zimbabwe and Finland as well.

“It’s important for Indian start-ups to understand how business has evolved across the world and at a larger scale. We want them to look at the world market, and be informed of what’s happening among start-ups in countries like South Korea,” Singh shares.

More than 100 start-ups each from South Korea and India are expected to be in attendance. Healthy turnouts are expected especially from the Incheon, Seoul and Gyeonggi-do provinces of South Korea.

Before Getting into StartUps, First Get to Know The Reasons Why Many of Them Fail

“The success of one start-up comes with the failure of 99 other start-ups”

India’s leading web series TVF (The Viral Fever) is coming with the second season of their globally acclaimed mini-TV show, The Pitchers. The first season showed us what really happens in the success stories of many start-ups. We feel a kick of raw inspiration and courage when the show ends. This is not limited to this mini-series, but to many successful stories. But there was a line said by the father of one of the lead characters. He says that when a new business idea leads to success in a start-up, that same day 99 other start-ups fail. He does not say this regarding the business idea, but he puts importance to how we go about the start-up. Logic seems to take a back seat with so many social interactions, but a new business idea cannot afford to not have logic as its prime mover. Thus, before you jump into your idea, research about the ways in which you can see a failure in it. You cannot literally afford to make 999 efforts to failure and then become successful like Thomas Edison. But, what you can do is to make sure to get into the bottom of each aspect as the dynamics of the world is changing due to internet becoming our 6th sense.

 

Failures are the Stepping Stones for Your New Business Idea

 

If you are planning to associate your business idea with government initiatives, it becomes essential to know the crux of the schemes. Initiatives like Start-Up India and Skill India are made available to youth (or any person wants to start a business) so as to encourage the power of converting dreams into reality. It is a great support introduced by the government. TED talks are one way to increase our knowledge relating to start-ups, its failures, managing assets and overcoming challenges.In one of the TEDvideos, a person talks about the result of reading a book per day. What we are trying to say is, books are the best way to make your building blocks of the start-ups.Note that books provide in-depth knowledge about a subject so that should never be ignored (missed) in this era of everything-is-on-internet. Reading the autobiographies of the world’s most influential people will tell you why they were what they were. Imagine the power of books which can take us through the important facets of such people. If internet is your 6th sense, then make sure that book becomes your heartbeat. Get into a bit of history and become smart enough to know that 15-16th century brought a whole new level of scientific innovations, 18-19th centuries brought political creativities into people and 19th century was the effect of globalisation. Hence, what time period do you think this one is.

Creation has always been the ultimate things for human. In today’s world, creation means business! Remember that start-ups aren’t just selling or buying, but it’s a way to understand the working of the world and all the above things support it. The better you understand the reasons of failure, the better you would be going ahead with your new business ideas.

Simples and Realistic Business that you can do in India

Product Supplier Big institutions like school, offices and hospitals are always in the need of regular products. You can make your business online by offering products at much less prices.

Thrift Shops Opening a thrift shop and dealing in second and third hand used products is also a nice idea.

Fast Food Restaurants Many people thing that opening up a food or a drinks joint is expensive. But, the reality is that it is not that expensive. You should know that you don’t have to feed a large population. Never shy away from opening a stall of fast food or a fruit drink. If you can strategically plan out what areas have office goers and their timings and can do researches like these then your stall can bring you a profit of Rs 30k to 60k in a single month.

 

Solid Waste Management System Dealing in waste products can make you rich in really quick time. The thing is, waste management system is still an unexplored territory in India. But, the margin of benefit is really good in this. You just need to pick a locality and collect its domestic waste. Domestic waste usually consist of organic, plastic and metal wastes. You can create vermi-compost out of organic waste and for plastic and metal ones, you can recycle them. Recycling machines are expensive but it’s a one-time instalment. Also, you won’t need a big one at the initial stage. Vermi-compost can be sold to farmers directly at a very low price. Selling at low price will also be profitable
