He mentioned about the key requirements to plan a start-up.
He discussed on various types of business structures and models and Risk-Benefit understanding and expectations for a new business model using numerous examples. After addressing a couple of doubts from the audience, he mentioned the legal steps involved in setting up a Startup. The first step includes trademarking the startup, with the help of a Chartered Accountant or a Company Secretary by first finding a unique name and logo, and then registering the startup. Secondly, take the help of a lawyer and draft an agreement with the partners that come on board, and make sure the agreement is transparent and the details are pre-decided.
He concluded the session by reiterating that reiterating that a Startup can be called a successful one by spending only five percent of your efforts into the idea-building process and the rest of it is its execution.
