What is a start-up?
A start-up is a new company that’s in the early stages of its workings. The person who creates a start-up is called an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is someone who starts a business based on their idea and tries to turn it into a product or service that people will buy or use. Start-ups sound fun but they are also very risky. An entrepreneur has to put a lot of money into their start-up with no guarantee that it will be successful. Even then, India is one of the best places in the world for entrepreneurs to create start-ups.
