The Indus Entrepreneur (TiE), a not for profit network dedicated to the advancement of entrepreneurship, is planning to add more charter members by next year. The outfit, which has over 1,800 charter members, reaches out to entrepreneurs in Tier two towns.
TiE chairman of global board of trustees Arjun Malhotra, who is also CEO of US-based HeadStrong Corporation, said despite the global meltdown there were ample opportunities for the Indian small and medium entrepreneurs.
“We want to work as enablers to help our members identify their latent strength and make optimum utilisation of opportunities that exist across the globe,” he said
Besides the traditional areas of light engineering, education, food processing there are emerging areas such as bio-technology, nano-technology and non-traditional areas like bio-fuel and solar energy on which information and motivation can be imparted to their members.
He added that the entrepreneurs from the field of information technology had outnumbered others in the past but now people from other fields were getting memberships and benefits from the network of TiE.
