The generation before us chose to save money and stay on the same job for years. Today, the current generation has more risk-taking ability with their money and careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The millennial generation prefers to work in a field of their interest, where they feel challenged and satisfied. They are more inclined to work in<a href=\"https:\/\/payu.in\/payment-solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;<strong>startups and unicorns<\/strong><\/a>, hoping to change the world for the better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The startup culture has helped various young entrepreneurs start their businesses with small and unique ideas. The cultural transformation has accelerated the technological revolution, making a significant impact on the socio-economic situation in the country. Understanding the potential of startups, the Government of India launched the \u201c<strong>Startup India<\/strong>\u201d initiative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Now, let&#8217;s understand what exactly is a startup? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is A Startup?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Startups are new businesses set up by one or a group of individuals.&nbsp;There could be two reasons to create a <strong>startup<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>To offer a new idea or product and no one else has the copyright\/patent on it previously<\/li><li>To redevelop existing products or facilities in innovative ways&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">If you are planning to start your venture, these questions might bog you down:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Do you have to register the startup<\/strong>&nbsp;if it is in the nascent stage?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Is registration required for startups&nbsp;<\/strong>that offer&nbsp;legal, agricultural, or technological services?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The answer to these questions is yes. As per&nbsp;<strong>India startup basic<\/strong>&nbsp;guidelines, you should register your venture under the \u201cStartup India\u201d scheme to avail various government benefits. These advantages include tax exemptions, easier compliance, and other types of assistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who can register for startup India?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Under the \u201cStartup India\u201d initiative, an organization needs to meet certain prerequisites to be called a startup. To make your company considered as a startup by The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), your organization:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Has got registration as a private limited company or a partnership firm.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Its total turnover is less than INR 100 crore for any of the financial year.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The entity is working towards innovation in products\/services and has the potential to generate employment.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It will be considered a startup for only up to 10 years from the date of registration.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">If your venture meets the above criteria, register it with the DPIIT.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to get your startup registered?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The Indian Government has simplified the process of\u00a0startup registration.
