It begins with defining entrepreneurship as starting a business and outlines the process an entrepreneur goes through. This includes planning, making mistakes to learn from, starting and sustaining a business. It then discusses why India has a rising number of entrepreneurs, including employment generation and better standards of living. Key statistics are presented on the number of small businesses and their economic contribution in India.

The document discusses problems facing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan. It notes that there is no official definition of SMEs, making it difficult to monitor their development. Major problems SMEs face include electricity shortages, high input costs, lack of access to financing, and poor government policies. Additionally, SMEs rely on outdated technology and lack technical skills. While SMEs contribute significantly to Pakistan's economy through job creation and exports, access to financing remains limited due to an incomplete legal/regulatory framework and non-SME friendly banking practices. Continued efforts are needed to promote SME lending through an enabling environment and tailored banking products.

Indian start-ups are going through a hard time, with many of them laying off employees for reasons like conserving cash for day-to-day operations. Since the start of this year, almost 8,000 employees have been laid off from various start-ups, indicating trouble brewing in the near future. Some estimates say that this number will likely increase as the year progresses. Other instances like Paytm’s Paytm mall losing nearly all of its valuation are painful examples of things going south in the Indian start-up scenario. However, to understand the current situation at hand, it is imperative that we start from the beginning with a healthy dose of context.

The Relevance of Working Capital, Financial Literacy and Financial Inclusion ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The development of the number of micro and small business actors in Indonesia is very fast,
but currently Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises are still in the small business zone and have
limitations to be developed. This research is oriented towards examining the relevance of working capital,
literacy and financial inclusion in explaining the financial performance and business sustainability of Micro,
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. A total of 310 MSMEs spread across 26 business groups were used as
the unit of analysis of the 1,382 MSMEs in Makassar City. The results of the analysis of structural equation
modeling with AMOS show that effective and efficient working capital management makes a real contribution
to efforts to improve financial performance. On the other hand, it is an interesting fact that business actors'
financial literacy and inclusion have an impact on their low financial performance. Culinary business actors in
their implementation have high working capital so that it has an impact on the high level of business
sustainability. In a direct relationship, it is also found that business actors have financial literacy so that it is not
