Start-ups are the backbone of India’s economic future. From generating employment to bringing in innovation, something that starts as a single person’s idea could soon turn into a multi-million dollar company if provided with the right guidance.

A new start-up is born almost everyday but to succeed and generate sales, it takes a bit of additional input that comes from outside the ecosystem. One should look at the example of already successful unicorns. They all have one common factor – having an experienced startup expert on their boards.
