Emerging Entrepreneurs of Tamil Nadu
Entrepreneurship is the professional application of knowledge, skills and competencies and/or of monetizing a new idea, by an individual or a set of people by launching an enterprise de novo or diversifying from an existing one (distinct from seeking self employment as in a profession or trade), thus to pursue growth while generating wealth, employment and social good. India has been an entrepreneurial society…we had the entrepreneurial skill but suppressed it for too long a time…and now it is thriving. The entrepreneurial spirit is an ongoing characteristic of India’s history, particularly visible in a number of communities engaged primarily in trading. In a view to showcase the Spirit of Entrepreneurship and showcase the Emerging Entrepreneurs in Tamil Nadu, Confederation of Indian Industry in association with Business Line announced the first edition of the CII Tamil Nadu Emerging Entrepreneur Awards in 2010.
