Lets see how many startups start selling onions to India.

  ... as a service! But seriously, isn't this how Groupon is supposed to work? Offer a stupid discount, protected by a limited supply in order to manufacture demand. I'm not sure why this is top of HN?

    Roughly speaking you're right, but there is already a demand for Onions, and there's no need to manufacture demand for "onions sold by Groupon" because Groupon don't want to keep selling onions. It's as piece of marketing by Groupon, at the end of the day, and a reasonably clever one, hence it's on HN.
