With a growing economy business opportunities in India are also growing 

Even as the global economy that came to a standstill in the last two years, picks up pace, India looks promising with a double-digit GDP growth. Though, the growth is predicted to be lower than the previous year, India is one of the bright spots in the global economy. 

Under such circumstances, business opportunities in the country seem lucrative and the entire world is looking at the Indian market. Given the size of the Indian market, labour availability and government initiatives, entrepreneurs want to capture the market opportunity here. 

This and the coming year are expected to be one of the most rewarding years for you, if you are 

planning to start a business or growing business in India. There are ample business opportunities 

here with a robust business community that is only growing by the day, giving rise to excellent 

business networking platforms .

The global coronavirus pandemic has taught us to be flexible, adapt to changes and to be resilient. The pandemic has been the biggest game-changer of the century or perhaps even in the history of mankind.

The sudden lockdowns shook everyone. Businesses suffered a setback. It seemed like an endless battle. While uncertainty loomed over the situation, many companies resorted to work-from-home, thanks to the digital age and technological advancements; others followed suit. And while everyone thought remote working was here to stay for good, the situation began improving, the COVID positive numbers began plummeting and markets began opening.

Consider this. You are a successful businessperson. You have struggled your way to success, or you may have taken your family business to the next level. Your employees, friends and relatives are full of praises and appreciation. 

Now is the time to tell your story to the whole world and also to drive your business ahead. One of the best ways is to get recognized with a business award! 

The global pandemic has taught us one thing – every sector, every business is vulnerable and that no one is indispensable. One of the hardest hit sectors is undoubtedly the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs have been the greatest drivers of the Indian economy.

In 2019, it contributed to around 29 % of the total gross domestic product (GDP). COVID-19 changed the game and shoved MSMEs into uncharted waters and debt cycles. With the pandemic cases coming down drastically and the markets being fully opened, the MSME sector is striving to make a comeback and the picture looks bright at the moment. Also, thanks to the government for taking the right steps to lift the sector through its Rs. 3 lakh package as credit guarantee to financial institutions. Yet, a lot needs to be done for MSMEs that have their presence in rural as well as urban areas.

Does this sound familiar?

You operate a small business that is popular in the domestic market and is fetching you good dividends. Given the digital era, you are getting enquiries from international buyers. What else could be an icing on the cake?

Opportunities are waiting for you to scale up your business. Women entrepreneurs often face policy and legal obstacles besides gender-biased sociocultural norms and tariff issues.

Women entrepreneurs never had it easy. The challenges have always been insurmountable and they had to walk the extra mile to reach their goals. Many women have been doing great business at the local level but to survive in the race, they have to go global.

The last two years have seen diverse business opportunities that are here to stay for good. Most of these already existed but got an impetus due to the global health situation.

While unemployment hit every country, few chose to take advantage of the situation and get into business development. They not only became self-sufficient but also provided business opportunity and employment to others. The businesses that entrepreneurs chose then have become popular sources of income and entrepreneurs are now exploring ways to upgrade these businesses.     

One of the best business opportunities that rose out of this situation was Dropshipping. Freelancing, blogging, affiliate marketing, developing apps, cryptocurrency, online classes, digital marketing and many other businesses became popular sources of income. Observing the success of these business opportunities, many jumped into it. If you are looking for new business opportunities that would be long-lasting and fruitful, the options are many.
