PROBLEMS FACED BY STARTUPS Planning Execution Customer Acquisition and Retention Fundraising Human Resources Startups do not earn profits in the first few years of their operations. So income tax exemption in the first few years is not attracting a lot of startups in the development phase.
The fund created by the government is not helpful either, as the
same can provide support only when other investors and VCs are investing in the company. Investment is market-driven, and hence, the usefulness of the fund created by the government is yet to be seen as the funds have not been withdrawn and used till date.

percent shall anyway be imposed. CURRENT SCENARIO India is in the third position just behind US and UK with 20,000 start-ups and 5200+ technology led start-ups which are poised to reach 10,500 by 2020 as reported by Start-up India and Nasscom.
7 million college graduates per year and 55% of the youth
prefer working in start-ups over corporates.
Median age of founders is 31 years. While metro cities like
Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai continue to be the start up hubs with 66% of overall start-up base, tier-II cities too have not been far behind due to availability of talent, government initiatives, local investor confidence and infrastructure support.
