Lot of Indians seem to be entrepreneurial these days...

I'ts because they played too much when they were kids.

 

Hehe, funny picture. Oh well, good job to them.

 

From my observation, at least 60% of newsstand, Dunkin Donut and 7-eleven in New York are own by Indian or middle eastern

 

Indian guy just took over the 7-eleven down the street from me.

 

I'd like to say that's just stereotype, but I had/have a number of friends that own those chains. It's relatively easy to work those businesses...it's francise.

But there are many indians in different things as well. A lot of them are in real estate. Good for them either way, I truely want India to be one of the world powers, anyways.

 

That's my observation. Do you live in my hood? how do you know that's not true?

 

No, I live in the bay area...california. I have multiple indian friends, whom run restaurants, 7-11's, and a quizo (spelling?). I know others that own subways.

It's fairly popular to own franchise, I suppose. *shrug*

 

Not to be judging I think it is a general trend in the world, people become more entrepreneurial.

 

My hint was to the link I had posted. 5.8 million hits a day to the government site in India - info related to starting business, etc..

Since the conversation has taken new path - trend is - People from North and Western India are more entrepreneurial and you will see them own Subways, Quiznos, 7-11s, Newstands in NYC, Dunkin Donuts, etc.... Those who are from South and entrepreneurial - they mostly end up in service sector although this number is very small.
