Entrepreneurship becomes the new frontier for freshers, shows study
The success of Indian startups is fueling hundreds of dreams as more freshers opt to start their own venture, supported by academic institutions that offer dedicated courses on entrepreneurship and organise events to nurture their desire to be entrepreneurs, according to a latest study.
The survey revealed that 67 per cent of students polled intend to start their own business within 10 years of graduation.
The study conducted by HirePro, an AI-powered recruitment automation firm, found that 15 per cent of students want to jump on the entrepreneurial journey immediately after graduation, whereas 23 per cent will opt for this route after two to three years of graduation and 29 per cent want to have their own venture within 5-10 years of graduation.
“The success of numerous Indian startups, which have become household names in a short span of a decade, has inspired a billion dreams. The desire for a stable job has been replaced by a desire to write their own destiny,” said the report.
The report captured aspirations and inclinations of over 20,000 candidates, over 350 colleges, and 200 corporates, along with interviews with more than 100 campus talent recruiters.
