Cost of doing business in India

Any start up venture which requires a little bit govt. approval (intervention) becomes very hard for a person who tries to follows his or her value system. In India, one side we talk about liberalization and on the other hand everywhere you will find bureaucracy in the system. When one such person tries to do something then he or she requires having a sufficient approach towards so called netas .
Recently I had a chance to handle a similar project for my family business. It was about preparing an application for getting a gas (LPG) agency. Almost ten documents were related to tehsil (Taluka), and getting these ten documents was really a painful task. Please mind, still we are only in the process of putting an application.
Whenever a big plan comes in to my mind, I first contemplate on this issue that how much efforts it will take to get work done from govt. departments. Ironically, this is the real challenge for entrepreneurs in India.
Especially in rural India govt. officials are more corrupted (It’s my personal experience). But, what can be done this is the part of business. I don’t know how TATA’S are doing business in India?
May be the biggest reason for the high growth of the Reliance Group is having a proper alignment with government officials.
My concern is about those who are just planning to move towards entrepreneurship. What will happen to their dream? When even after bribing an official they will not find the answer that why this work is not happening?
But any way, mistakes are our biggest lesson for learning.
