Economy of a country is the ultimate player for its progressive development. Economy is majorly depen- dent on few factors like human labor force, sell and purchase of product & services, import & export and lastly the quantity and quality of consumption which affects the standard of living. Quality and standard of productivity can be improved if the labor force is efficient, and the labor force will get improved if the quality of education and training is improved. So, all the elements are forming a chain to enhance and enrich the economy. As the number of heads are multiplying in leaps and bounds, the availability of workforce is increasing but that doesn’t imply that productivity is progressing relatively. Because, the productivity is broadly leaning on specialization, technological innovation, and working capital. To speed up the productivity, an economy must have better tools and equipment, like capital goods, and highly specialized labor-force. The revolutionary upliftment of economy is seen when few qualified and coherent groups of people, called economic actors, are able to produce goods and services with increasing efficiency. All the vertices of economy are conjoining and their knot is tied to the hands of startups. India witnessed a jaw dropping rise of 15,400% of startups in last couple of years. Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has created a more than 9 lakh jobs with a 64% increase in 2022. Startups are a catalyst for economic growth globally as well as locally. As soon as a company develops an impactful robust business model and a committed mindset, it is ready to scale-up responsibly and sustainably.

Economy which starts with people ends with aspiring startups that is the paramount of progression
