The concept of entrepreneurship was coined in the 18th century with the pressure to earn a living. However, the dynamics of commencing and amplifying any business are completely different today. In the days of yore, the entrepreneurial ecosystem was completely driven by family background and market opportunities. On the other hand, the original entrepreneurs were confined to being traders and merchants. But speaking of the current scenario, we can see a weaving divergence.

Although the theory of business has evolved tremendously from ancient merchants to modern startups, it all boils down to a common factor of having a ‘great idea’. Fortunately or unfortunately, the business world is ultra-competitive today. Comprehending the unique present-day business obstacles and innovating ways to tackle them requires instinct, experience and a strong foundation. Let’s take a whistle-stop tour through the revolution, journey and scope of entrepreneurship.

Why so much emphasis on entrepreneurship? Entrepreneurs create large-scale employment opportunities and play an important role in economic development.

What are the prerequisites for a modern-day business?

It’s 2022, and India has logged the highest number of unicorns. The pandemic has certainly taught us that unprecedented scenarios and shoe-string budgets can surprise us anytime. Now that’s when it becomes backbreaking to sustain. Besides out-of-the-box thinking, any business requires new-age concepts.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is no more restricted to the field of science and technology. In fact, it has become an integral part of the business world. AI can help entrepreneurs immensely by automating their business processes, triggering intelligent responses, boosting revenue, enhancing customer services, creating marketing strategies, gauging customer emotions, sales forecasting, creating delightful experiences and more. While the challenges and scope of entrepreneurship are towering by the day, AI plays a vital role in shaping every business.

2. Data Science

A futuristic degree in data science can help entrepreneurs big-time with decision-making by predicting future trends and patterns. Data science is a multidisciplinary field that can help businesses understand data variation patterns, growth rates, customer information and any other variable that can be measured. To sum it up, data science can help grow a business largely by fostering new ideas, bettering user experience, bug detection, mitigating risk, recruiting the right talent, identifying the audience, generating data-driven evidence and more. You will be amazed to know how much value data science can add to a business.

The big daddies- Google, Amazon, Netflix, Twitter and Facebook have data science implementation as a common factor.

3. Digital Transformation

Warren Buffet once said, ‘Digital transformation is a fundamental reality for businesses today’ and he was absolutely right. No amount of technology can help any business without a strategic digital marketing plan. The success of any brand depends on how it reaches its target audience by refining and personalising communications. Brands without any brick-and-mortar offices have undergone a digital transformation and have been a super success.

In a snippet, these new-age courses are a driving force for today’s businesses.
