Entrepreneurs are creating a new India. Their breakthrough ideas have not only given rise to the startup industry but also created millions of jobs and contributed to the country's economic progress. The government, from time to time, takes measures to improve the ease of doing business and cut the compliance burden to encourage people to start businesses. As a result, according to Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2021/2022 report, India is among the top five easiest places to start a new business. 

This puts India on top of entrepreneurial journeys.The government just revised the definition of small companies which will further improve the ease of doing business. The revisions will allow more entities to come under the category of small companies. Ameer Merchant, an entrepreneur who hails from Gujarat, said that an entrepreneurial journey of a person doesn't involve him/her only instead it has a larger impact on the surroundings. He said that entrepreneurship and jobs creations go hand in hand, adding that small companies represent entrepreneurial aspirations and innovation capabilities. "This contributes immensely to growth and employment."
