Building a Company in India

September 28th, 2008 Posted in Building a Business, India, Personal

When I usually drop off the internet world, it’s usually because I’m pretty occupied with something fascinating. The first time I stopped blogging was when I made my last post on TypeCarl.com about meeting my monthly earnings goal half way through the month. There wasn’t a post for months until I started CarlZetterlund.com.

This time I’ve been busy building a company from scratch in India. Initially, I was supposed to build a staff here with the help of my Indian business partner to build my affiliate marketing business, but now I’m absorbed into creating an internet company for the Indian market.

My goal is to create an internet company in India that rivals the best in the world. Since I have limited capital and India’s internet scene is still a baby, I’m going to have to build the internet in India from the ground up. A major issue in India is there isn’t enough money on the internet. The only people putting money into the system are big corporations who are either branding or trying to build their internet empire as well.

So we’re starting with eCommerce. It’s a great way for people to get comfortable with exchanging large amount of money for goods. It’s a very classic business model, but it is responsible for a large amount of the internet economy in America.

I can’t tell you what I’m working specifically just yet, so until then, I’ll blog about various topics on doing business on the web.
