A fact file on India Telecom sector -

• India is the fastest growing telecom market in the world.
• Around February last year, India overtook Russia to become the third largest mobile market.

oCricket a good start up idea.

Ideas generate when you think. oCricket.com is one such site which I like. I admire the idea which the which the person (owner of oCricket.com) came across.
The site is of BETA version.
oCricket defines itself as "oCricket is a socio-networked site; refreshed, renewed, reengineered and re-everythinged Cricket."
It is just a social networking site for cricket lovers where they can discuss and publish various news and matter about cricket.

One thing admirable is that the site is not just for Indians it is for all cricket fans all over the world.

Er! I dont know how are they earning from oCricket there are no ads.

Searchnig for a Doc, PDF, XLS and PPT file - Here is a file search engine for you.

I was just surfing the net and came across a site which is limited its search to specific files such as Word document, PPT, Excel and PDF file.
The site is specifically a file search engine.
It is a good tool and the results generated are useful. I searched for "Download The monk who sold his Ferrari" in PDF Section. And this is what the result was.
Link to the site - Brupt.com

This is a good start up I say as the search is defined. I didn't see for any other such site (site on file search) as I liked this one very much.

Investment I cost of this site I assume is minimum and the revenue generated is mostly/mainly from Google Adsense for Search (Ads). They are looking for various other sponsors.

This is yet a growing site. Can gain popularity very soon.
