Most start-ups can emerge as key drivers of economic growth and job creation, and can often serve as a catalyst for radical innovation.
A few innovative young firms have reacted fast and flexibly to the crisis, and have been critical in helping many countries shift towards fully digital work, education, and health services, and have provided innovations in medical goods and services.
However, most or rather all start-ups can do the same and revolutionise the world, Says Eminent Astro-Strategist Hirav Shah.
They just need to follow the correct approach to proceed and progress.
And the one and only bulletproof approach is the Seven Fundamental Signature Approach For Startups By Hirav Shah.

1. Project / Business Analysis-identifying business needs and determining solutions
Startup founders today are faced with overwhelming, competing challenges and uncharted waters as they continue to navigate the impacts of the crisis. These leaders have to face the crisis with a spirit of reinvention—accelerating digital transformation, establishing variable cost structures, and implementing agile operations.
Meanwhile, a complete GAP & SWOT analysis of their set-up, can certainly catalyse to take the best steps forward.
2. Business Formation-format you want to operate under
It’s not uncommon for startups to make mistakes while building their business. You will want mentors that you can lean on and learn from in order to stay successful.
Still, some things should be avoided, so as long as occasional mistakes happen, they won’t hurt your company too much. Test new ideas and get feedback so you know what features need work or if the whole idea needs changing altogether.
Failure is just a lesson waiting to be learned from. Sure, it’s tough when you pivot your business model and test new ideas for feedback, only to find that they don’t work out the way you’d hoped — but every mistake or setback always comes with something valuable in return, if you don’t let your pride get in the way of admitting what needs changing.
Also, it is all the more important for luck to bless the startup. The name of the company, project, logo, website and other brand assets need to be auspicious too.
Why take chances !!
Remember- ” luck happens only to the competent “, Quotes Hirav Shah.

Today, this has become really difficult.
But, what if someone tells you your estimated income at least 6 months or 1 year prior?
Sounds unbelievable !!

You can also look for things that are readily available and can be used as per the demand in this time of crisis. Even the smallest of objects can make a big difference in healing the global economy during these hard times. Also in hard times under social responsibility you must learn how to enhance your life by giving it back to society.

Acting also fulfills our needs for contribution and significance, making us feel needed, unique and helpful in later days.
