The scope for entrepreneurship is limitless here in India. Entrepreneurship can be divided into three areas of work -

* Providing Service
* Selling Goods
* Manufacturing Goods

The first activity involves the least monetary investment and risk. The other two require higher investments, but a good foresight can make these ventures extremely successful.
People who like to dream big can expand their business ventures beyond the boundaries of India. An understanding of international economy and business methods are required in this case.
