In an attempt to serve food for thought for all bright minds, leading business consulting company Franchise India launched country's first 'Entreprenuer Cafe' in Okhla, Delhi. Franchise India further plans to open up string of such cafes throughout the country in a bid to provide stimulation to budding entrepreneurs. "India is at the cusp of innovation and entrepreneurship, but the ecosystem is not nurturing enough," says Gaurav Marya, Chairman, Franchise India. He also added that there are not many places where an entrepreneur can go to for help. While incubation centres exist in IIMs and IITs, they are often tech-centric. Entrepreneur Cafés will especially focus on retail and services, which is set for good growth in the country.
