hi..seen ur intrsts with health care and juz want to bring 2 ur notice that health care support and service of medical equipment may be a good start up for u. east of india lacks a good support infrastructure. venturing into this line an be a precursor to other ambitions that u have listed...and being from this field..if u need suggestions or a model to follow..pls rvt..

I have read aboutyour specialization and interest in launhing your business.First short list the area where U wish to operate.Plan you business in a modest manner and start with something Rs. 5 Lakhs loan from the Bank and your personal Capital. Rs. five Lakh loan is given by the bank on the basis of cash flow of your bsuiness.The Bank may ask for a collateral,but you may present your case on the basis of cash flow. You are qualified ,you can draw a pattern to tralk to the Bank/Rest depends on your enthusiasm. SCSharma,my profile is in minglebox.

Why dont you try your business skills in Agriculture sector. Its potential is huge and untapped. Investment is minimum and returns are high.

hey dude .. great idea...

all the best .. might be www.pitchindia.com can be of some help to u..

Hi Ankur,

I am very happy to know that we have some similar ideas. I am from Assam, North east India. Which is regarded as neglegted region, insurgency prone, backward in infrastructure etc. From here we could hardly guess about the booming Indian economic secnerio. I will be very much interested in all these fields you mentioned for our region. You know Govt. of India is viewing the look East Policy and I am thinking how to prepare the common people for this new happening. Till now I have no idea how I could contribute. I hope I will hear from you soon.

Hi Ankur
Emerging India,
India Shining, and a lot more.
Very bullish on the economy.

I have long been contemplating on an imporovised biz model that encompasses sectors U mention and more.
A Marketing mechanism that is a highly inclusive process best termed as "MARKETOCRACY", borrowed from a series in TOI a fortnight ago titled'CUTTING EDGE'.
looking forward to hear from you soon.

Hi Ankur

Some great ideas here. Internet enabled microfinance, Education etc could be hot areas of opportunity.

how do you plan to take the ideas forward. You could invite interested persons for webchat at a predetermined time to discuss ideas.

Are you looking for areas in media and entertainment.

Hello Ankur ,

I have some novel ideas in participating the rural/daily wage earners into equity/insurance .

Also some smart ideas for advertising , Bringing ethnic tastes into retail shelves .

I would like to know more about your ideas.

Glad to see this.I had also been thinking to mobilise enterprising people to come together and do something really great.Synergy is the buzzword now.All the areas mentioned by you are appealing and to this low cost housing can also be added.
Who knows we may be the right people to start with.

Hi ankur, liked your idea. I have similar views on enterprenureship potential in these areas. I am particularly interested in healthcare, education and micro-finance with special thrust on rural india. Efforts in these fields are much needed and are promising too. I am final yr. engg. student @ NIFFT ranchi, natively from a rural area and have a family background of doctors. I have some experience in education as my father runs a school.
I would be more than happy in doing these things as i have always thought of being part of enterprise which pays back to society at large, apart from making sound business. To tap full potential of india these sectors need to be worked with full enterpunerial zeal and and vision.
Best wishes

Hi Ankur,

Congratulations! for - what I feel is the right step toward start up success - recognizing the opportunity that India presents for entrepreneurship in healthcare, education and micro-finance.

I have been an advisor for start up companies, here in the US, and would be glad to be a part of your team as an outside consultant.

Some of my current indulgences, directly relevant to your areas of interest include:

1. strategic sales and marketing consulting with small and large healthcare companies in USA and Europe
2. business advisor for educational initiatives such as www.surepreplearning.com
3. business advisor for Namaste Direct a microfinance non profit catering to Latin American countries

Feel free to email me, if further clarification is in order. I am not sure how frequently I will be checking this thread in the coming few days.

Good luck,
Vinamra

sorry its www.kiva.org

Hi, Ankur.I have a friend in IIM, Cal;got admitted 2006.His name is Sisir Mondal.Hope you know him.
I agree with u of presence of great oppertunities to be tapped now in India.Talking of microfinance:How about a convergence of microfinance and internet or say for that matter the convergence of micronsurance and internet.It will give a great chance of reaching out to people who need small finances to meet their small financial requirements.I have some great ideas of the above convergence; although they have been created somewhere else in other countries.look out for www.kiva.com.
I would love to team up for this kind of startup.
Bye
