Despite Workforce and Competition Challenges, Most Business Owners Plan to Expand

Hyderabad, Telangana Sep 26, 2024  – A recent survey of 45 business owners reveals a mixed picture of entrepreneurial optimism and challenges. While 59% of respondents plan to expand their businesses, with an additional 25% likely to follow suit, obstacles such as workforce shortages and competition are hindering their growth ambitions. This trend is observed across various sectors, including Construction, Manufacturing, and Agriculture.

“This survey highlights the delicate balance between business ambition and the obstacles entrepreneurs face. It’s clear that businesses are eager to grow, but overcoming these hurdles is critical,” remarked Deekshith Vemuganti, Chief Operating Officer at InsightCrunch.
