For quite a time, I was trying to figure out the kind of business one can do in smaller towns of India, which are popularly known as Tier 2, tier 3 or tier 4 cities of India. I am a consistent believer of a thing that the real growth lies in the places, where people are hungry to consume new goods & services. Moreover, in today's fast communication world & media glitz, people are more aware & vie for higher standard of living at economical costs. Although, one can find people of all living standards ready to pay all kinds of prices for more higher standard of living, still huge growth lies to cater to people of middle income class. Also, these so called smaller towns has witnessed huge growth in recent years vis-a-vis large metro cities due to many reasons mentioned or otherwise.
I have tried to do a 'List of 101' for 'business ideas for Tier 2,3 & 4 cities of India'. Many of these ideas may look familiar for people of metropolitan cities or otherwise, or may be found already in some format of cities, but I am convinced that still a large part or most part of these cities/towns lack such services & people are there to pay for them, but still one dont find them. Some of them are new, and can be implemented by the people of zeal, attitude and vision.
