So.....you are probably not going to be an effective entrepreneur in a country like India if you can't even figure out how to pay the cost of doing business for the visa you need to even start your company. If you don't understand that this is a shakedown/bribe situation you should not be incorporating in India. How could you be an effective leader there if you can't even figure this one out.

I wish they could just say "there's a special fast track fee if you wish" or simply make it an actual fast track fee. But nooo, it has to be all hint hint, wink wink. And that doesn't concern only India, it's the same thing in all countries with low-mid level corruption. I know they take a risk, but they'd make more money that way AND benefit their country/economy, too.

  The problem is that it's the clerk who is pocketing the "tea money", so they can't request it, they have to wait for you to offer it.

Any country that demands that you commit illegal acts to be an effective entrepreneur is one that is openly hostile to entrepreneurship. Plain and simple.

  So, America should be ranked #1 in your list then. Remember what happened to the Apple vs Samsung verdict? The biased judge? How is that friendly to entrepreneurs when you keep getting bullshit cease and desist letter from shell companies? Stop this cliched bullshit dude.

    Stop this cliched bullshit dude. This shows what a cliched mindset you have. Again you have a cliched mentality. Why? Because it's a cliched mindset. Get stuck much? You try to argue this point in every comment on this thread. Shitty governance may be a cliche, but its a dealkiller in many ways. Its still prevalent in certain areas. Part of it is legal. Part of it is structural. There are some cultural dynamics as to why some things are as they are. Its more beneficial to understand the real problems, to think through them, and to know what you are up against. Than to deny they are figments of the imagination.
