    4.2.4 Agricultural Entrepreneurs

            Agriculture  has  historically  been  regarded  as  a  low-yielding  business.  Agriculturists  have  lately  adopted  new  and
            innovative technology to maximise productivity resulting in the emergence of agriculture entrepreneurship.

            4.2.5 Technical Entrepreneurs

            The  Industrial  Revolution  gave  rise  to  technical  entrepreneurs—individuals  who  leverage  their  technical  expertise
            to design and provide machines, tools, and methods. They focus on continuous innovation to streamline industrial
            processes and enhance efficiency. By applying their specialised knowledge and skills, technical entrepreneurs play a key
            role in driving technological advancements.

            4.2.6 Non-technical Entrepreneurs

            These entrepreneurs specialise in supporting technical entrepreneurs by leveraging their skills to deliver services. Their
            strength lies in managing the non-technical aspects of a product or service, focusing on processes that take place before
            and after manufacturing, rather than being directly involved in production.

            4.2.7 Professional Entrepreneurs

            This type of entrepreneur builds a business from the ground up, nurtures its growth, and guides it to self-sufficiency.
            Once the venture reaches this stage, the entrepreneur sells the company and starts a new one, continually repeating
            this cycle.
            4.2.8 Entrepreneurs in Information Technology

            IT entrepreneurs are individuals who engage in entrepreneurship within the domain of Information Technology (IT). The
            key difference between IT entrepreneurs and technical entrepreneurs lies in their focus areas: technical entrepreneurs
            work in sectors such as electronics, mechanical devices, and civil engineering, while IT entrepreneurs are dedicated
            exclusively to innovations in the field of Information Technology.

            4.2.9 Women Entrepreneurs

            As the term implies, women entrepreneurs are those women who start their own businesses. A growing number of
            female entrepreneurs are taking the initiative to create their own businesses, and many of them have made it to the top.

            4.2.10 Social Entrepreneurs
            Social entrepreneurs are individuals dedicated to developing solutions that address societal challenges. They actively
            create, fund, and implement initiatives aimed at improving society, culture, and the environment. The terms "social
            innovator" and "social entrepreneur" are often used interchangeably to describe these changemakers.

            4.2.11 Entrepreneurs from a Family Business

            A family business entrepreneur is someone who manages and operates a business that has been successfully passed
            down through generations. Unlike a first-generation entrepreneur, this individual inherits the business and continues
            its operations, either maintaining the traditional methods or introducing technological advancements to improve the
            existing processes and approach of the family enterprise.

            4.2.12 Entrepreneurs of the First Generation

            First generation entrepreneurs are persons who have no prior business experience. They can come from a variety of ages
            and backgrounds. A person who starts at the age of 50 without any entrepreneurship history is also a first-generation
            entrepreneur, as is someone who starts at the age of 17.
