    Mr. Vikram,
    FMCG includs many things. It also includes the local FMCG products which we use and to start up those product can give you a cool platform.
    If you have 15,00 USD, you can put it as the margin and you can get another 6,000 USD loan from venture capitalist firms and banks.
    So don’t worry, you can start and every thing starts with small and then takes the big turn.
    Thank you.

    Mr. GGK,
    It is great idea to give your kids a chance that’s a really very modern concept. But the problem is that you can not extract physical work from them and you can not make them doing any legal work.
    You just can one thing that will improve their brains and they will come up with good ideas.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I have a family business into mechanical fabrication & erection services for process equipments like storage tanks, pressure vessels, chimneys etc. We dont have our own manufacturing unit,We provide services in the client premises.

    Now my educational background of BE (Chemical) & MBA (Marketing) with prior experience in KPO seems not helping here. So, I am looking to diversify or start a firm in another name into manufacturing / production but really not sure in which category. I have property in Madhya Pradesh near to BORL refinery. Can you suggest manufacturing / production of something which can be started there. I dont want to go for trails, so it must be something which is good in terms of returns.

    Please respond

    AK,
    You need to take care of the marketing of your business. You need to show people how are you better than your competitors? Just observe what your competitor is doing and try doing better than him/her.
