Zoho Online collaboration tools for start-ups

Online collaboration is the new thing in, and some of the free but effective online tools for ideation, collaboration and reporting are giving a scope of entrepreneurship.
Some of the innovative Google tools can be a booster for your small start-up, to name few I would suggest
* Google Desktop: for effectively managing your new employee's desktop.
* Google Custom search: for providing a customized search experience on your website.

But I am particularly impressed by Zoho.

Onsite Insurence Company for medical Tourism

When medical tourism comes into my mind, I always think about making it a success as Information Technology in India. One of the way to achieve is to collaborate with American and European Insurance companies to treat their customers in India at a price which will be a win-win situation for all the parties involved.
But this is something we need to convince others to do tasks in our favor, then why not we start an insurance company here in India which will have offices in western countries to get customers; but instead of covering them to get treated there, we will ask them to come to our preferred hospital partner in India and get a world class treatment at a fraction of price.
Insurance Company, Anyone?

Rural Entrepreneurship: Inviting everyone on the development train

How can India maintain her growth rate at 10% for the coming 50 years?
Answer is simple! Involve everyone, every student, every farmer, every worker, every non-worker and even every tribal man. We just need to make them realize that they also do it, they can start their own business.

My approach behind this revolution is rural entrepreneurship, it's different from social entrepreneurship. Rural entrepreneurship is to teach rural people being an entrepreneur. Teach them to start small business, run them and earn their livelihood and eventually employ others.

I am not asking you to do social service. I think this model of rural entrepreneurship can be profitable because of the economy of scale. Why am I talking about rural? Can't this model be applied to Urban India? My motive behind addressing rural market is huge estimated impact on Indian economy and your profits. Cities are better saturated then rural areas in business, that's why my plan is to target rural areas.

I am in initial stage of developing this business model and need all your suggestions. I will also keep updating this blog with new ideas.
