Economic activities are important for the economy of any nation. These activities may include starting a new business, creating employment opportunities or becoming an entrepreneur. A new refined and renewed term has been coined for all these activities — startup. In terms of numbers, India now has over 60,000 startups and they are working across around 55 industry sectors. Data provided by startupindia.gov.in shows that around 4.7 lakh jobs were created by startups during the Jan 2016 - Dec 2020 period. In order to promote startups, India celebrated January 16 as National Startup Day. Also, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that startups are the 'backbone' of new India. But these startups face a lot of uncertainties during the initial phase and this is where incubators or investors play a key role. Incubators or investors not only extend monetary but moral support as well to these startups. One such platform is Shark Tank India - which provides opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to make their ideas big. Shark Tank India will soon be coming with its second edition. Here in this article, we will try to elucidate how much risk investors take while funding a startup and how they make money out of it.
