What is the need of start-up schools?
India is the third largest startup ecosystem worldwide. Even though the number of start-ups is huge, 90% of startups got failed in first five years of operation. Start-ups failed due to no control on financial burn, inefficient feedback loops, absence of leadership, and improper demand projections. Thus, Start-up School India initiative was designed to align efforts in order to expand the start-ups.
