Innovation is one of the most important factors that distinguishes entrepreneurship from business.
In the highly competitive world we live in, innovative ideas are what will separate you from the rest.

Your goal is not to build just an average startup, right?

In order to create an outstanding product, strong brand, and a reliable consumer base, you need to innovate.

Innovation doesn’t always mean creating something brand new. Innovators often take something that already exists and modify it to make it the best match for their customers.
Innovative ideas are what will make your startup stand out.

Turning a half-cooked startup into a fast-growing company, in a short span of time, is kind of a ‘hobby’ for Paul Graham, the legendary Co-founder of leading Silicon Valley startup, accelerator Y Combinator.

In less than 10 years’ time, he has funded more than 550 companies, including Dropbox, Airbnb, and Reddit. Aside immense experience building successful companies, mentoring, and investing in startups, he has also authored a few books, including On Lisp, ANSI Common Lisp, and Hackers & Painters.

Here, in this infographic, Graham explains startups in 13 sentences.

ILS EDC is here with some amazing book recommendations for you. Make sure that you give them a read!!

These books will give you an insight into the world of entrepreneurship and help you navigate through unchartered territories.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has proposed reducing fees for intellectual property rights, such as patents and designs for micro, small and medium enterprises and startups, to promote innovation.

The government, in 2017, launched a scheme where startups would be eligible for 80% rebate in patent filing fees and 50% rebate in trademark filing fees.

Additionally, startups would also be considered for an examination of patent applications to reduce the time taken in granting patents.

The Incubation Scheme of the GOI provides opportunities to innovators to develop and nurture their new ideas for innovative products.

The main objective of the scheme is to promote & support the untapped creativity of an individual and to promote adoption of the latest technologies in manufacturing.

The scheme proves to provide the needed support to students/entrepreneurs of institutes such as technical colleges, universities, other professional colleges/institutes, R&D institutes, NGOs involved in relevant activities, EDCs or any institute/organization of the Central/State Govt.
Stay tuned for the next part!

Small businesses and MSMEs form the backbone of the Indian economy and may hold the key to solving India's unemployment crisis.

The MSME sector in India employs over 100 million people and accounts for 45% of the total manufacturing output and more than 40% of the country’s exports.

Small businesses require sufficient funding in the form of large amounts of capital to enable expansion and provide sustainability to the venture.

However, the sector is facing a working capital crunch, as there is a lack of access to affordable capital. The government of India has taken steps to ensure easy availability of funds to small and micro enterprises by introducing the following schemes:

1.Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme
2.Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises
3.Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme

ILS EDC is Happy to announce its new logo!!!!!😄🥳

The logo of the cell, designed after much deliberation, is an attempt to put into a visual, the philosophy that drives our efforts. The motif - engineering a scale out of electric cables - is suitably allegorical to our mission of merging the machinations of law with the technicalities of entrepreneurship, while also educating minds to the existing overlap between the two.
The minimalist principle behind designing this logo symbolizes the fundamental belief which drives all our efforts that entrepreneurship, at its very core, is an endeavour that involves freedom. Freedom from excesses, freedom from superfluity. Freedom to invent, freedom to innovate. The freedom to start from scratch. Freedom to build from the ground up and freedom to reach for the skies.

Let us know what do you think of it in the comment box!

Namita Shah, co founder PRESOLV360, emphasises on how important it is for the Lawyers to get rid of the 'more billable hours' tendency and look for solutions that enable faster Justice Delivery.

Namita Shah's views on how Law and Technology can change the Justice Delivery System for better.

-From the session "E-Justice in the Lockdown" conducted on 5th August.

Namita Shah, Co founder PRESOV360, said during the session "E-Justice in the Lockdown" while refering to problems related to out dated curriculum.

We've reached for the stars ever since we could tell the space from the sand, and not once, at any given time in history, have we been closer to having them in our grasp than we do right this instant. And all because, every once a while, someone stands head over shoulders from the crowd and says in a voice unshakeable, "I can change the world."

To that spirit of entrepreneurship, and to that spirit of making the world a better place; we raise our glasses, and we celebrate those voices.
Happy World Entrepreneur Day.
