The number of start-ups spreading across the country is soaring. However, entrepreneurship is a tumultuous journey. And with already-established, well-known brands in the market, making a dent in the universe of start-ups becomes even more challenging.

But what if you got the formula of success straight from the experts themselves? How to navigate adverse conditions and come up with alternative revenue streams? How not to perish in a volatile, uncertain and changing world? How to flourish, irrespective of the odds, while building a better society and a sustainable business?
