INTRODUCTION
When we launched the fourth edition of Entrepreneur India’s most inspiring IPs of millennial pride, we were in search of faces who are riding the new wave of success. Our listicle always looks at fresh faces every year. This Special Edition showcases 35 maestros and their dreams in the new decade. The past decade has witnessed both boom and doom and start-ups writing new rules of the game. Our aim was to capture innovators and achievers who listen to their passion and strike it hard. From sports to music to food to education, our list captures the biggest trailbazers who are all set to change the game. As another great year of entrepreneurship comes to an end, we are all excited to witness a new era of entrepreneurship unfolding soon. As enthralling entrepreneurs share their new stories with us, we are excited to offer this new edition which opens up new segments, new areas and sparkles with new names who are making a fresh mark in the world of entrepreneurship.
There is also a particular focus on Tier-II, III cities as well as rural markets due to their scope for affordable brands. Take for instance, Kodak, which aims to nearly double its Indian market share. Super Plastronics has already started working on its R&D centre in Bengaluru which will witness unique testings using innovating technologies. “In the future, you will be seeing a lot of new technologies inbuilt in your televisions. Technology moves fast and to cope with that speed, we have already started our in-house training centre where we are starting our software library,” says Avneet Singh Marwah, Director & CEO, Super Plastronics. In the next two years, the company plans to start customizing its own UIs and build the required updates in-house.
This Collector’s Edition charts the journey these entrepreneurs have taken with all the colour and thrilling adventures narrated in detail.
