Over the decade, the mindset of the people has changed. More people want to be the boss of their own and don't want to restrict themselves to 9-to-5 jobs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, last year has been a year of ups and downs that hit across the globe. A lot of entrepreneurs in India have dived into business opportunities and tested their ideas.
