The guidelines given by the Government of India determines how the classification between startups and SMEs are done. Based on these classifications the funding, benefits, and exemptions are also allocated.

In terms of their investment, or the lack of receiving corporate funding the stories narrated by the founders of a startup or an SME is often quite similar.

In my close circle of friends, Kevin outshone everybody else. It's as if he can figure out complicated math equations at the back of his head. In fact, one time, we were talking about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle while eating pizza. There I was, completely stumped about this theory, and my friend Kevin broke it down in between bites of a slice pizza. That's how brilliant he was and still is.
