                 Ð The term ‘entrepreneur’ is derived from the French word entreprendre, that means "to undertake."
                 Ð Entrepreneurship  can  be  defined  as  “an  economic  process  in  which  an  idea  or  an  opportunity  is
                   generated, improved, developed, and implemented while being exposed to uncertainty in order to
                   realise a profit through effective resource utilisation.”

                 Ð Entrepreneurship is the perfect combination of art and science because it involves definite progression
                   and procedures to be followed as well as the ability to deviate whenever necessary while still making
                   the entire activity profitable and growth-oriented.

                 Ð The qualities of a successful entrepreneur include initiative, willingness to take risks, ability to learn
                   from mistakes, motivation, self-confidence, hard work, and ability to make decisions.
                 Ð The essential functions of an entrepreneur include identifying business opportunities, putting ideas
                   into action, feasibility study, resources, establishing an enterprise, managing the business, and growth
                   and development.

                 Ð Qualities that motivate an entrepreneur are excellence as a standard, uniqueness, concentrating on
                   long-term goals, exerting influence, identifying possibilities and taking risks.

                 Ð A startup is a business that is in its early stages of development.
                 Ð The Government of India's flagship initiative, ‘Startup India,’ aims to create an ecosystem for the growth
                   of startup businesses.
