Is this really feasible?

It's hard enough getting regular electricity in places like Bangalore and Delhi, won't it be much worse in the countryside? What about Internet connectivity -- do we have broadband penetration outside the cities?

I do agree the bureaucracy is getting better. However, corruption and the political climate is getting worse. I'm still not sure where we're headed ...

Internet penetration is 10x better than it was 2 years ago with wire-less broadband devices and with so many cell-phones around, almost everyone I know "at least" has a GPRS.

Electricity is getting better but till then power back-up ftw!

I find it strange bootstrapping startups complaining about environment, looks like someone wants to be mouth-fed.

I agree it's better than two years ago. However, I'm not sure it's good enough to warrant moving out of a big city to start a company.

From what I've heard from my friends many villages have between two to four hours of power a day. So, UPS backup isn't going to fly. If you use a generator, you have to put up with the noise, not to mention the additional cost.

The OP suggested that entrepreneurs were moving to the countryside. I just asked whether that's feasible. I think this snide remark was uncalled for.

I also submit that not having to worry about electricity and broadband is worth more than you think.

I need to be clear here. Not all entrepreneurs are Internet based. There is a ton of non-internet things people are trying to do.
