DARE - Because Entrepreneurs Do

Food makes everybody happy, a wise guy had once said. I couldn’t agree more after being an ardent fan of Delhi’s street food. But there is one problem that continues to haunt foodies not only in Delhi but maybe the entire country. Venture late in the night, and you would find practically nothing to eat. And even if you manage to find some food outlet, it would either burn a hole in your pocket or you would have to compromise on quality (if not taste and price) of food at the roadside eateries.
Could night food streets be a solution to this problem? Space for creating such a street could be an issue with the Government. For this, we can take cue from Singapore. In Singapore, a road (I am missing its name) that is busy by the day transforms into a food street by the night. In India, one such night food street model was started in Chandigarh. Unfortunately, the street became more of a nuisance than a revenue spinner due to the law and order problem it created. If this issue is taken care of, it could be a good business opportunity for food entrepreneurs. This could especially be lucrative thanks to the upcomming Commonwealth Games 2010.
