"Indian entrepreneurship is second to none and activity levels are at on all time high. According to the global entrepreneurship monitor 2006, one in every ten Indians is engaged in some entrepreneurial activity or the other of this, opportunity based entrepreneurship (70%) is significantly higher than necessity based. A lot of entrepreneurship activity is centered on the IT and BPO industry, but there are few outstanding examples in other fields.
