Goa or Kerala best to open IT/Engineering business?

dbf

I am a stock/asset investor interested in moving to either Goa or Kerala for part of the year and hiring individuals to work for me evaluating companies world wide that either I or my son would purchase in our own accounts. The individuals would need just the basic of educations as either I or my son would train them in the process of evaluations and writing basic reports. They would work mostly as a group(think tank) or independently from computer(s) provided. My son also wants to open an engineering(invention) company to engineer new products or re-engineer old products in a think tank group atmosphere.Good internet access and good power grid is important.Not looking for those with to high of educational degrees for they tend to limit imagination and cohesion in a group(egos). Both businesses would operate year round although we may be there only 6 months out of the year. Which state Kerala or Goa and specific town(city) would be the best as far as people to hire with the one requirement that it needs to be close to the ocean. Thank you.

I assume you've been to India before which is why you have an idea of where you want to live & set up a business.

I don't know anything about setting up a business in India but I do know it's very bureaucratic & complicated and not long ago foreigners were not allowed to own property or businesses in India. That may have changed. I'm sure there are attorneys in India who specialize in what you are trying to do.

There are probably websites that you could find by googling that would have that type of information, if someone here on IM doesn't step forward.

Maybe you should spend 6 months scouting out different coastal areas before you decide to go ahead with your larger project.

Oh, there is definitely NOT a good power grid in any of India. Big companies provide their own power. India is completely lacking in modern infrastructure, though they do have some good roads and subways now in big cities.
