There is no bar to enter into entrepreneurship and neither have we. It is not about physical age, but about mental age.Similarly money. Those days of starting new business only when you have money have gone. You can literally start a new business venture with zero money. Many have proved by starting ventures from garages, rented places and make shift shelters. While Tatas and Birlas are scratching their heads on how come with so many years of existence, they are unable to get the valuation of just six years old new age ventures are getting.The new age businesses are volumes business and for same Innovation is the key.
