Professors in India are NOT entrepreneurs.
IAS officers and bureaucrats are NOT entrepreneurs.

Unfortunately,
They are made E Cell and MSME division incharge, whatever the designation may be.
They both hold authority to advise as mentors to entrepreneurs.
They both hold authority to approve funding to entrepreneurs.
and they don't hold any responsibility towards their decisions.

Only people who ran whatever form of business,
whether failed or succeeded,
should probably take a bit of formal education, such as MBA, if needed,
and only they shall be allowed to teach entrepreneurship
or offer mentoring support
or take decision about funding to entrepreneurs.

Why Start Up Entrepreneurs and Businesses should avoid taking "String" funds
"String Funds" are those funds which come with unspoken, undocumented but serious strings attached to it. Mostly damaging to the business. Desperate owners/entrepreneurs typically fall for these funds. Start Ups and Businesses dance to the tune of those who hold these strings, at a later stage. So be careful who you take money from, who you onboard as equity or debt provider for your business.

Founder of Incubate Partners worked closely with numerous global and local businesses, offering advisory and mentoring support. What we realised, during this period of over 34 years, we are trying to share some insights here.

Funding option shall be chosen carefully
If you know Asset Liability Mismatch, you would understand this well. Dont infuse long term funds in your business to meet short term liability. Similarly, never ever infuse short tenure funds to meet long term liability. Equity is a long term liability. Offer it wisely. Structure your short term and long term debts carefully. Each one has "string" attached to it.

Funding Partner shall be chosen carefully
You dont just infuse funds, you onboard funding partner. They are expected to add positive value to your business. You need to understand the mentality and attitude of your funding partner, either debt or equity, before you onboard them. Especially if you are giving them significant stake and if they are in controlling situation. Every relationship is built over a period of time, but if the intentions are not honest, relationships fall, so does the business.

It makes sense to take professional mentoring help, to manage your capital budgeting, funding strategy, stakeholders management, risk management and exits.
