Strategic Goal 3: Sustained, Easy and Hassle free Access to Start-up Finance: 5
6 Offer and facilitate linkages to entrepreneurs across a range of financing options available from the Government, Financial Institutions, Banks and Institutional Investors. Across the globe, as well as in J&K, lack of sufficient start-up finance is one of the most difficult impediments facing young start-up entrepreneurs. Young entrepreneurs in most countries rank lack of access to finance as the most severe perceived barrier to starting a business. In a European Survey, young entrepreneurs between the ages of years ranked lack of access to finance as the number one perceived barrier even before an unfavourable market environment and administrative procedures/burdens. Interestingly, youth respondents to one of our Baseline Surveys ranked a lack of access to banks, financial institutions and services (loans, start-up capital, etc.) as the second most severe barrier to entrepreneurship after lack of entrepreneurship education and training. Globally, creditworthiness is often assessed on the basis of track record, business experience and expertise. One of the key concerns that financial institutions have about lending to youth start-up entrepreneurs is that youth lack business experience, exposure and skills. Despite the existence of strong financial institutions like J&K Bank Limited and the existence of numerous well-funded and well-intentioned government credit-linked sponsorship programs, young entrepreneurs find it hard to get the required finances for their start-up enterprises. Through this strategic objective, JKEDI intends to provide direct finance through various direct financing options as well as linkages to financial institutions to the aspiring entrepreneurs. Strategic Task Equity Finance Debt Direct Development & management of Specific Funds meant for financing business ventures in various sectors. Linkages to Financial Institutions Building and maintaining relationships with national and international Fund Houses for managing their funds that aim at economic development in the state. Direct Direct lending to entrepreneurs through various debt instruments like Term Loans and Working Capital Finance 6
7 Linkages to Financial Institutions Non-Fund Based Finance Creating and developing linkages with Financial Institutions to facilitate hassle free access to formal channels of Institutional finance for entrepreneurs. Creating and providing non fund based financial products to entrepreneurs to make their projects bank-worthy Strategic Goal 4: Business Assistance & Support (BAS) / Business Development Services (BDS): Design and offer BAS/ BDS to help micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) so as to overcome barriers to enterprise creation, improved productivity; increase their profitability and facilitate access to high value markets. Provide adequate and quality business assistance to a young start-up entrepreneur in the early stages of his / her entrepreneurial journey so as to increase the likelihood of success and survival of the enterprise. Business Assistance and Support (BAS), also often referred to as Business Development Services (BDS), are generally defined as: services that improve the performance of the enterprise, its access to markets, and its ability to compete. JKEDI has adopted a definition of BDS as a function that comprises all formal and informal non-financial services that can help young entrepreneurs starting up their businesses to transform their fledgling ventures into successful enterprises. Business assistance and support will include market support, consultancy, facilitating access to business enablers like technology, business information, business linkages, and infrastructure development. It will also include other non-financial support services like mentoring, support networks, business clubs, incubators, monitoring and evaluation initiatives. Strategic Goal 5: Entrepreneurship Research & Development Design a Research and Development framework for entrepreneurship and innovation, suitable for creating information and knowledge products & services essential for holistic approach to Entrepreneurship Development in the State. 7
8 JKEDI intends to establish a dedicated Centre for Policy Studies and Research so as to create a body of knowledge for informed policy interventions, advocacy and knowledge sharing. Strategic Task R&D Framework R&D Themes Publication & Advocacy Impact Analysis & Evaluation Defining an R&D Framework for Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Information Product Generation Key R&D themes will include: Entrepreneurial/new venture formation and performance Financial capital (types and importance; access to capital) Entrepreneurial intentions, decisions and ambitions Academic entrepreneurship & university spin-offs Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) Sectoral Research Economic Potential Entrepreneurship from a gender perspective Performance Evaluation of programs Evaluation of training and academic curriculum for Entrepreneurship Based on the results and insights of R&D, JKEDI will be able to formulate and put forth reports, advocacy documents, a multitude of information products, proposed innovative financial products, best practices, etc. and ultimately contribute towards vibrant entrepreneurship development in J&K. This will enable the Institute to measure the efficacy of its various programmes and interventions so as to undertaken timely corrective measures. Strategic Goal 6 - Policy Formulation and Recommendations: Provide inputs and recommend interventions for Policy making at the State as well as the Central Governments level regarding matters of economic development of the State. JKEDI intends to position itself in an advisory role as an important player in the economic empowerment of the state and proposes to dispense advice and/or recommendations to Government of J&K, Central Government and other National Organisations on all matters related to sustainable economic development of the State of J&K in general and business, entrepreneurship development and livelihood creation, in particular. With a strong R&D base, JKEDI would be able to provide quality inputs and share findings for better policy frameworks and maximized policy impact. 8
9 Strategic Goal 7 - Project Management & Implementation: Liaise with Government & Non-Government stakeholders for being the choicest agency for management & implementation of projects related to sustainable economic development of the State. To achieve this objective, JKEDI intends to revise and develop its project management and implementation abilities and employ a scientific Project Management Approach to become a domain expert on Project Implementation thereby enabling the Institute to establish itself as the choicest agency to pitch for & fetch projects related to economic development of the State. The Institute will strive to create and develop Project Management (PM) competencies including sound knowledge of the project design and delivery process, planning and execution, contracting options, procurement strategies and monitoring & evaluation systems for projects.
