Dollar-eyed entrepreneurs are dreaming about building the next startup that will raise millions and become a brand like Amazon and Uber. The humble ones are thinking of starting online businesses that will create an additional stream of income and maybe one day help them escape the drudgery of 9 to 5 jobs. But a big chunk of such startup dreams across the world is going to perish, with India playing a big role in it. And the reason won’t be that startup or online business ideas lack potential.
