What is the ideal age for entrepreneurship?

Answer is - There is no definite age for entrepreneurship. Whenever you get an Idea, this is the right age for it.

When 17 years old Ingvar Kampard started IKEA in the year 1943, everybody was surprised and in dilemma that how a 17 years old led the company and today, IKEA has become a brand and spreaded all across the globe.

Col. Sanders started the KFC at the age of 62 in 1952 and today this company has the restaurant chain in all over the world and Kentucky Fried Chicken is famous for its seasoned chicken and people love it.

Pranoy Rao started the NDTV in 2003 at the age of 53 and today , NDTV has its value in Media industry.

When Microsoft was born , Bill Gates was only 21 years old and rest is history.

Shiv Nadar started HCL in the year 1976 when he was 31 years old. Dhirubhai Ambani laid down the foundation of Reliance in 1958 at the age of 36 years.

Why I am illustrating these examples here because in my opinion, entrepreneurship can be done at any age. There is no specified age to start a business. Whenever you get an Idea, click it and do it.

Once you start your journey, people will automatically join you. It is always better to runs your sweat for you.
