Entrepreneurship is the professional application of knowledge, skills and competencies and/or of monetising a new idea, by an individual or a set of people by launching an enterprise de novo or diversifying from an existing one (distinct from seeking self employment as in a profession or trade), thus to pursue growth while generating wealth, employment and social good.
India has been an entrepreneurial society…we had the entrepreneurial skill but suppressed it for too long a time…and now it is thriving. The entrepreneurial spirit is an ongoing characteristic of India’s history, particularly visible in a number of communities engaged primarily in trading.
In a view to celebrating the Spirit of Entrepreneurship and showcase the Emerging Entrepreneurs in the Southern States, Confederation of Indian Industry, in association with Business Line, is proud to announce the CII Emerging Entrepreneur Awards 2011.
The objective of the initiative is to nurture, cherish and recognize the “cream of the cream” of emerging entrepreneurs who will scale up to be national and global players in the next two decades.
