Although ideas are the most often encountered cognitive entities, entrepreneurship is not for everyone. The most crucial qualities that may turn starry-eyed dreamers into successful entrepreneurs are a clear vision and an even clearer focus. Because passion comes at all ages, you don’t have to adhere to any certain requirements to develop as adventurous thinkers who can make a difference. Fueling their ambitions and turning them into reality is what motivates India’s entrepreneurs who are succeeding and will continue to succeed in 2021.
Here’s a list of some of India’s growing entrepreneurs who are sure to inspire you:
- Ritesh Agarwal – OYO rooms
OYO rooms were founded by Ritesh Agarwal in 2015. He won the TiE – Lumis Entrepreneurial Excellence Award (2014), was the first Asian to receive the Thiel Fellowship ’20 under 20′ (2013), was named one of the top 50 entrepreneurs by TATA First Dot Awards (2013), and at the age of 17 became the world’s youngest CEO. Ritesh, who enjoys traveling and has stayed in a variety of hotels, noticed a consistent problem in the locations he went: the high price of the hotel room was not related to the amenities offered. He believed that the majority of hotels in India could not meet the fundamental demands of a budget tourist. As a result, in 2012, he launched Oravel Stays, his first business endeavor. He tweaked his business strategy and renamed Oravel “OYO,” which stands for “ON YOUR OWN.” Through OYO, Ritesh Agarwal became one of India’s most well-known entrepreneurs.

Shradha decided to launch YourStory, an online platform for entrepreneurs to share their experiences and other interesting material. Since its inception in 2008, YourStory has helped bring over 70,000 stories to light. The goal of YourStory is to give a voice to the roller coaster of emotions that an entrepreneur experiences.
