How To Start a Business at age 13?-

Recently an avid reader of this blog has asked me a question,

I am 13 and I want to start a Business at age 13. Kindly let me know that Is there any legal age limit to start a Business and registering a company at the age of 13? How can I start my own Business at age 13?

Well, as far as I know you should be at least 18 before you register a legal entity for your Business. However, it doesn’t mean that you can not start your own business before 18. You can start your Business as Hobby even before the age of 18 also and once you reach 18, you can register a company and do all the legal formalities.
Say for Example – Blogging. If you want to start a Blog Business and you are below 18, than you can not register a company but it doesn’t mean that you can not start blogging as a Business. You can start blogging as a Hobby and later on you can register a company on your 18th Birthday.
If you ask me about which business to start at this much early age than I recommend you to start your own Internet Business. You can start anyone or more of the followings.
- Blog Business
- Websites
- Articles Directories
- Forums
- Facebook Applications
- iPhone Applications
- Online Gaming Business
- eBay Store
- Social Networks
- Online Applications
- Or anything else online….
There are wide varieties of Internet Businesses that you can start from scratch at the age of 13. I always encourage school going kids to start their own Business as early as possible in their lives because in the real world there is nothing like a “Job Security”. In fact, Not having your own Business & Investments is a risky thing.

So Start your own Business at the age of 13 and believe me, you will become more rich and financially free than everyone else in your age group…!!!

India Inc losing its shine? How can we resurrect brand India?

I hate to paint a gloomy picture but things certainly are not going well for India Inc. Started with Singur’s Nano plant shutdown, lynching a Noida CEO by the labour . Though these are not as catastrophic as what is happening in the US, these are warning signals to put our house in order. All this is punctuated with bomb attacks on key cities without fail.
The business confidence index is reducing as per the new report of NCAER.Following are the few factors, which are pulling down India’s brand value:

1. Rising inflation
2. Terrorism and lack of safety.
3. Political uncertainty and ambiguity
4. Strict regulations for Mergers and Acquisitions
5. Unfriendly labour laws to conduct business.
6. Lack of land regulation and reforms.

Amidst all this how can India show up a brave face and attract more investments and provide jobs for millions of young Indian who are ready to join the workforce?
The answer is not that simple. We need a government that understands that national security along with energy security is of paramount importance. Present government has spent too much time on energy security (nuclear deal) thus neglecting national security. Terrorists are exploding bombs at will. I understand that dealing with terrorism is not an easy task in India, because the enemy is within. But that is not a reason for inaction.
Next are the land reforms, which should denote what land should be granted to SEZ’s for development. This should not come at the expense of farmers. There should be a consensus driven decisions against unilateral decisions. What happened in Singur should drive this policy.
Easing the regulations on Mergers and acquisitions and increasing the FDI limit in key sectors like Insurance should serve as a starting point. The difficulties of Sahara acquisitions and the problems faced by Idea in acquiring Spice telecom should not be repeated.
Companies would like a pool of talented resources to hire. India provides that in plenty. However, Indian labour laws protect the employees from being fired. Though this is good from a employee perspective, it would be difficult for a company to do business in tough times. Striking a balance should ease these laws.
Inflation remained at 12.14% for the second week, which is both good and bad news. The apex bank is no mood to ease the interest rates anytime soon, which would reduce the liquidity and hence the demand. This would bring the inflation down. Looks like it is happening. If the predictions were anything to go by Inflation would come down to 10% by the end of this year – I hope it will. Unlike the Wild West, our RBI has always been cautious which has served us very well.
RBI should be commended for a job well down. China has reduced the interest rates in spite of inflation. Their logic is fuelling growth, which would reduce the inflation. Those are two different approaches taken by two different countries. Only time will tell that India’s measures have worked, but we will never know what happened with China because there is no transparency.
I still hope to believe India is the hottest destination for the investments, but we need to get our state in order. We need better governance.
What do you think can be done differently with the issues mentioned? What do you think India needs right now?

Doing Business: Need for improving regulations & Empowering Entrepreneurs!

You have to give it to Google. It never ceases to surprise the world with its seemingly unorthodox style of operations. Be it their oh-so-cool work atmosphere, strategic marketing tactics generating tons of hype even before the product launch, the fascination with Beta launches, and last but not the least their acquisitions and business deals.
Google manages to pull out rabbits out its hat with such uncanny frequency that most of the times, the rest of the marketplace cannot predict what is going to come next. However, what is more interesting is that even after so many products and acquisitions, Advertising revenue continues to remain the Bread and Butter for Google.
However, with the dynamics of the marketplace changing, Google off late has gotten into a little diversification. The diversification though till now has been more from a “Seeing Beyond Internet Search” per say than monetization models. Android (OS) and now its own phone Google Nexus bear testimony to the fact that Google is indeed
