Speaking at Junior Chamber International’s(JCI) business networking breakfast yesterday, Rajeev Agrawal Technology and Business Incubation Facility (TBIF) Manager challenged the youth to embark on businesses even prior to joining any kind of employment.

Mr Rajeev Agrawal further stated that, “We are encouraging fresh graduates to go into businesses; entrepreneurship needs to be a first option. This will greatly contribute to the country’s development”

Addressing the young entrepreneurs Agrawal said that venturing into businesses would give the youth’s financial freedom and also help in abolishing existing market monopolies.

“We need to learn from countries like China and India regarding importance of Small business in development of a country.”

He advised the young entrepreneurships to challenge their creativity and embark on networking and partnerships while establishing their businesses.
