More power to Non Metro Cities: A blessing in disguise”
Jodhpur, Rajasthan Apr 5, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - World has become a Global Village due to technology, communication, and easy transportation. Also, the breakout of the pandemic has transformed the business world and work culture with constant work from home for almost two years.
Many offices extended work-from-home policies indefinitely, because of which many Tier II and Tier III residents returned to their hometowns to work from the comfort of their homes. Almost 70% of India's population lives in rural India, as well as tier 2, 3, and 4 cities. The wealth that lies here has been brought into the spotlight time and again.
Businesses have been compelled to re-evaluate their products, services, marketing strategies, distribution channels, and every single spoke of the wheel.
Today, we are strengthening the Startup Ecosystem in Tier II, III cities. Our love for small cities and passion for the startup ecosystem made startup founders stay in their hometowns Jodhpur, Surat, Nasik, Pune, Nagpur, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Faridabad, Noida, and from there only we have seen the dream of transforming a new spirit of entrepreneurship in India from small towns, this is just a beginning.
In June 2019, Sushil Sharma founded Marwari Catalysts (MCats) with CA Devesh Rakhecha and Richa Sharma with a vision of creating a community of startup enablers with the right mix of capital, know-how, and networks to build persistent and sustainable businesses across India. Later joined by CA Raunak Singhvi.
Speaking about the pandemic crisis of almost two years, Sushil Sharma, Founder, and CEO, Marwari Catalysts says,
"The coronavirus pandemic is undoubtedly one of the most significant crises of our times. It has caused loss of life, unemployment, and massive economic upheaval. However, we can't ignore the fact that the pandemic also has some upshots.
Technology-driven companies, startups and youth tried hard to turn the pandemic crisis into opportunity. Also a matter of fact, India's maximum startup unicorns were received in the era of this crisis only."
"India therefore is at a right stage for startups, and the ecosystem in cities beyond metros is becoming stronger for creating wealth through startups," adds Sushil Sharma.
"Increased digital penetration, new government initiatives, a lower cost of living, and innovative ideas have inspired many youngsters to startup in the hinterlands of India. Today, the whole world has become location-agnostic, and startups can come up with innovation irrespective of where they are based."
Coming to Marwari Catalysts, Sushil Sharma elucidates, "Basically we uplift people and economies through startups, by facilitating and fostering startup ecosystems. With the help of efforts and support from our well-seasoned and highly competent team we are supporting the new spirit of entrepreneurship in India."
"We define ourselves as Startup Nutritionists and make our efforts for boosting startups into Unicorns.
