Business Opportunities for Startups: TICE and Nasscom CoE Join Forces

While acquiring mentorship and knowledge isn't inherently negative, the lack of resulting business opportunities can lead to frustration and render the exercise futile for entrepreneurs. This raises the question of how startup entrepreneurs can successfully generate business leads alongside mentorship.
