Start A Small Business In India

China is in the economic development spotlight, ahead of India. However, India has an advantage over China--its democratic government. Democracy facilitates economic growth better than other types of government. India has over a billion people and is rich in resources and industrial production. These make it a ripe location to invest in a small business that caters to India's growing middle class.
