1.) Free Office Space + Free Electricity + Free internet + Free R.O Drinking Water + Free Security + Free Air Conditioner + Free Furniture and trust me lot other things which are free............!

A decent apartment where a team of 4-5 people can sit, think, implement, execute and work with all these facilities forget Delhi,Mumbai, Bangalore etc. even in Gwalior will cost you 40k-50k per month. Be Smart, start it from College you save the direct cost ;)

2.) Quality Team Member at 'No Cost.'

You get top talented rock stars, great guys and girls, intelligent, fresh and energetic young clans who work diligently to help you build a successful business. Let me express this very honestly & confidently while in college it is very easy to convince your friends to jump in and work with you to built a dream.

3.) Free Resources:

A start up in college will always help you in having lot of people from the campus who will you on technology, IT, Design, Marketing, Operations, Logistics and also Jugaad. Outside the campus and in the real world all these works are done by consultants and they charge you like the way Goldman Sachs or Lehman Brothers do.

4.) Free Fame:

You will always have an exciting story to tell people how you manage between studies and business. Trust people love to hear this adjustment. If you are lucky you may also get a chance to get yourself published in the newspaper.

5.) Free to make decision:

6.) Free from Pyramidal Organization Structure:

Believe it a Start up in College always have a flat organization structure where everyone is extended fullest opportunity to play with her or his Idea. And you need to make no presentation and no pay back period/ ROI reports to get your ideas implemented. The approachability within the organization is extremely fluid among each other rather you work for a team not for a company.

7.) Free Expectations Pressure:

If you are sincere about business you will always love pressure because improves efficiency and work ability. It is pressure which transforms carbon to coal, carbon to graphite and carbon to diamond(higher the pressure, more valuable the end product is). In a college start up expectation pressure from family, ("Beti/Beta tu apni padai par dhyaan de ache number la aur achi naukri le le, Pados valein Shukla Ji ki Beti ka London mei placement hua hai.") Girlfriend ("Jaan yeh sab chod do kuch gadbad ho gya toh kya hoga") etc hilarious. So all these pressure inspires you to excel.

That were few pondering points which may help you to change your mind if you are planning not to have a college start up. Practically speaking no business can be profitable from Day one you need money to launch any business and make it happen to scale heights, along with money you need a never ending passion, patience, persistence and hard work. Start Up in college no matter how big business it may turn out to be, will always make you to experience the fantasy to feel yourself as big shots like Google, Facebook, Apple, Dell, Microsoft, Infosys who started out of college.
