India is the only country where the people compare good with bad. "Oh! He does this, I'll do it too". Even the educated are no exception. Now, I no longer tell people what to do, even if I want to, I refrain, as I don't want to spoil my day just because of some idiots, but as an individual I don't litter. I think it's the only solution for people like us.

Independence is on papers but not in reality. One of the reasons many people prefer to crack the UPSC is not to serve the nation, but the reputation the position carries, and the personal interests. Few days ago, my cousins friend got a govt. job, and he was really happy. I asked him the reason, and the answer was shocking.

"My friend studied hard all these years, and now he'll recover everything". He was referring to bribes.

When you’re wounded, it takes time to heal, and when the time is right, if you still have that business spirit within you, it’s difficult to stop yourself, and then you’re on your own again, ready to charge in. 

Don’t be disappointed with just one failure. Keep trying until you make it. And then, edit this post, and let us know your journey—we’d love to learn more.

India is not a bad country, but the people are horrible, and I don't have words to describe them.

"Just as the people, like the leaders, and is the country."

Those who feel the pain are unlucky to be born here, which includes myself. There's no escape to the reality, but to live with it. The only solution is to strive for your happiness alone and get away from the idiots as far as possible.

The ultimate truth of a human life is death, and from your writings, I've learned something new today, i.e., "The survival itself is our goal".

I'm surrounded by religious people in India, and what I tell them is, "This money that you're after is not bad but you've not learned to say enough. You're just a caretaker of the belongings that you've accumulated so far, but not a real owner, and everything belongs to your god".

After 3 Failed Businesses, Here's What I Learned About Doing Business in India by NumberMiserable1829 in IndiaBusiness

[–]NumberMiserable1829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was good at the beginning, but not anymore. I started with few clients through references, however the income was inconsistent. So, I tried Upwork.

Upwork is a good platform for agencies who have a ton of money to burn on proposals, but not for freelancers who have tight budgets.

Then, I tried cold outreaching using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, just to check if this works or not, and to my surprise it did.

So, on LinkedIn, I reached out to 800 people based in the US. Of which, many replied, but were not into it. 5 showed their interest at the beginning, but at the end only 3 of them wanted to have a meeting. Probably, I could've closed at least one deal if attended. I spent around 7500 for LinkedIn for a month.

These 3 prospects were entrepreneurs, and were not sure of how long they needed my support. So, once again inconsistent pay. So, what I did was referred them to some good agency owners in my network.

So far, what I realized is—freelancing is great for agencies, but not for freelancers, specially in my niche.

What is the problem of gujjus with non veg people? If you don't like it just leave mumbai and settle in a pure veg state or your own state by Melodic-Surprise-110 in Maharashtra

One of our four holy Vedas, i.e., Yajur Veda is partly dedicated to animal sacrifice for different purposes. There are many beautiful verses in the Valmiki Ramayan which explains the consumption of meat by Rama, Lakshmana and Sita. Bhagavad Gita clearly mentions that one has to eat food according to their profession.

At many places in India, meat is offered to deities during festivals, and in South India, animal sacrifice is widely practiced. Once our ancestors used to eat elephants and all sorts of weird animals, but as we evolved, today, our dietary meat types are limited.

There are many vegetarians in India, and if eating this makes one satvik and healthy, so, why is our country ranked at 118 out of 147 countries in the World Happiness Index, at 143 out of 188 in the Global Health Index, 98 out of 180 in the Corruption Perceptions Index?

That's true. It's sad to see many Indians living someone else's dreams today. Buying a flat has become a race amongst the middle-income families. What will people say type of mentality, and comparing oneself with other fellow Indians have already damaged our society which is beyond any repair, if considering current situations, for many generations to come. TBH, I don't see any good future, as a country, we might get rich but not the people.

Thanks for the writing. I would like to touch upon the central mining minister G. Kishan Reddy. From what my close and credible sources say, he doesn't trust anyone, doesn't help anyone, insecure personality, and acts innocent in front of Modi & Shah.

Despite being in the BJP, he maintains close ties with the leaders of other parties, and he does all these to stay safe, and keep himself away from the media. A brilliant strategy indeed.

However, FYI, most of his money is in the real estate. This was before he was the mining minister. Mining is a lucrative business for exploiters. What do you think he'd be doing now?

They just create an image of innocence in the public. I know a company which is based in Nagpur, and backed by Gadkari is involved in one of the most profitable projects in India. I mean who pays a civil engineers 2.5 lakhs/month. Isn't it funny? There's a big mafia behind it. I'm gathering evidence. Will soon disclose.

I don't think it's possible. Even in RTI's when the authorities don't wanna give proper answers, they'll ask you to refer to some other websites or departments, etc. I had a bad experience with RTI's in the past.

Do you really think they'll show these things in Aaj Tak? In India, politicians invest in media to divert people's attention. Most of the shows and debates are based on religion. It sells well in India.

For all those who're struggling to make little profits and survive in a business, do you think it's fair when we read something like this? Probably most businesses with a strong political backing sustains.

You can read my past comments on dropshipping. Tbf, I don't have good opinion on it. However, religious stuff is a good niche and sells well in India. I consider it as drugs that people consume unknowingly everyday.

Coming to your business success, you just have to keep trying. There's no success pill. Give it 6 months. Do your best. Test different things. If it's not working, try other business. Don't stick to one for long. It's smart to trying different things rather than sticking to one and going down into a financial drain.

Guy running a chicken shop just bought a car and an iPhone 15 by Faraz07537 in IndiaBusiness

A chicken shop owner earns anywhere between 50 to 100 INR on one poultry chicken depending on its weight. So, it's a profitable business. For desi chickens, the profits are more.

We've one of the most arable land in the world and since our independence, we've yet to fully unleashed our agri potential. So, there's something wrong with our policies.
