This may be less relevant to the topic, can anyone point out how to start a company in India (I am a Indian citizen). Your help is appreciated.


Forget that you even read this article then. Subtract all the simplicity, multiply the hassles by 1000, and double it up, maybe once more. Allow the whole thing to stew on slow flame for months (not days) and probably now you are close to the ground reality of incorporating in India.

Practicalities: You have to contact a RoC agent (Registrar of Companies) who'll get this done for you. Depending on the type of your entity/incorporation (sole proprietorship, LLC, LLP, Company, One person company etc) the fees, time and documentation required will vary. For basic info check out http://www.mca.gov.in/ (Min of Corporate Affairs).

Beware though, really the incorporation process in India sucks donkeys balls and exhales horse farts even when going through agents.

If you want I can refer an RoC agent who presented at one of the weekend startup-meetings in Bombay. Sounded intelligent and well-versed with issues related to startup incorporating. My email is in my profile.

life needs the friendlier conditions to first develop.

Primitive Life on earth developed on not so friendly environment with poisonous gas (No Oxygen - Oxygen is a byproduct primitive living things created), regular meteor showers and boiling hot waters.

If Life evolved here under these conditions, it can evolve anywhere with such conditions


Numbers for India is low because Indians are just waking up now =)


If you have a high IQ then it is that much easy for you, 1)to find what you want (age<20), like drugs 2)and be richer(age>30) than many folks , so you can drink a lot.


Dunno about finding what you want. I have a reasonably high IQ, but I couldn't tell you the first thing about where to find a dealer. I didn't even drink before I turned 21, not for lack of wanting.


or try 'init' - loades some random files.


I first started learning programming with java/android 2 years ago. It took full 1 yr (3 hrs per day, since i also had a full time job) for me to understand the IDE, Object model and of course the android framework.

After the initial brush up with a language your coding potential will be increased exponentially. I build a iOS app, XNA game within next 1 year, and Currently in the process of creating a web application on rails.


I have worked for one such company, the salary of a fresher joining such indian IT consultant companies range from 6k to 10k $ per YEAR.


Solve a complex problem or just workout to keep your brain fit.


This should help indies who don't have time to manage their PR. Lemme give it a try.
