Thanks for reply. Here concept of franchisee is growing in india. So, u can also go thru this channel, as due to increse in HNI's there are lot of people having surplus money to invest in business.Even due to uncertain equity market and current interest rates of bank deposits below the rate of inflation, people are really waiting for attractive alternative avenues. But , u need to ensure them that they may earn annually more than 20%(which is more attractive than bank fixed deposits) on their investment with a steady growth but without risk. so, there must be clear project backed by some reputed business group/financial institution and must be appraised by renowned audit/legal firm.If u r using yahoo or google messenger, pls give me ur ID, so that we can discuss in detail.
With regards,
Prakash
I have gone thru site of ur company. It is a great idea to save money of poor thru technology, but why ur company is so slow in implemention. India is a great opportunity for ur product with more than 7 lac villages. One thing really missing is the implementation. With a few hundred machines how this can be fruitful to millions of people. A video presentation of the thought is also missing.Thru this business u will also earn blessings alongwith money.
