well what beleive is today the capability of taking (financial)risks of even a middle class indian has increased.......(i guess u all wid agree with that.)

moreover there is no scarcity of investors and bank loans to fund a business or an industry for that matter!!

The advantages of it over an 8 to 8 job is that u r ur own boss... and u decide ur working hours.... u decide upto what extent u want to give to ur businees...

What is required is to keep in mind are the long term benifits and move over the mentality of job security!!!

a few institutions that offer mba in entreprenuership are
1) edi ahmbad
2) iift delhi
3) iim-a ahmdabad
4) iit-b bangalore
5)isb hyderabad
6)k j samiya mumbai
7) national institiute for entreprenuership and small scale business devolopment noida
nirma university
9)s.p. jain

Yes, the risk taking ability has increase over all India.
Banks would slow down funding due to liquidity crunch though.

I want to debate about the timings, its not about the working hours. People don't wanna take tension which they think one own's business carries.Working hours varies, I still doubt people work 9 to 5 in jobs, until one has reached a stage. People start careers with work timings 9 am onwards

People stop dreaming and thinks JOB is gud...!!

So start dreaming!!

Dude i love the following things

• Ice-creams
• burgers
• pizzas
• cold-coffees
• books
• stamps

Please start a shop in any one of these activites so that i can (hopefully) get freebies.

You can get a franchisee for most of the items above. Might cost you a little though.

Try selling dynamite online, now that is an idea that hasnt been explored before. Believe me there is a market out there for high quality explosives and it is waiting to be captured by some enterprising fella.
