http://www.dare.co.in/ JoomGallery /photo-blogs/ideas/indian-dental-care-and-dental-appliance-market-109.htm Indian dental care services attract a lot of foreign visitors who come to India on Medical Tourism. According to a report, the Indian dental care services market in 2005 was 446m USD. At the same time, dental equipments and appliances market was 66m USD. On global scale, the dental care market was estimated to be about 16 bn USD in 2005. Given the liberalization provided by Indian government to import medical equipments and appliances, there seems a good scene of trade. The photo shows a computer output of a scan. Computer technology has enhanced the use of equipments in dentistry. Dentists are looking to incorporate these equipments even in small clinics also. There is an estimation of availability of 1 dentist for every 10,000 persons in urban areas and 1 for about 250,000 persons in rural areas in India. There is clearly good opportunity of growth in this area. Do your teeth have the strength to crack a hard nut!

There is something more on this brighter side of technology--LEDs. They consume lesser power and are higher in efficiency. According to a report by BCC Research titled "Light Emitting Diodes for Lighting Applications", the high-brightness LED and substrate materials market will grow to Rs.49,374.80 crore ($10.6 billion) by 2011. I recently visited an Expo in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi showcasing various types of LED products ranging from electronic signs, lighting systems, lamps and even light-curtains. With the increase in demand of LEDs, the business areas throws good opportunities. Does it light a lamp in your entrepreneurial brain!

Similar is the case at Chandigarh--Sukhna lake is famous for boating among the visitors and even locals. It would be a heinous sin if I don't mention the Dal Lake in Srinagar. Famous for its Shikaras offering delightful journey on the aquatic dimensions. This picture shows an opportunity amply tapped by Vodafone. Advertizing at recreational spots is a unique concept. There are numbers of lakes around the country where people like to spend time for fun and enjoyment. Apart from lakes, gardens, picnic-spots, sactuaries, historic sites, zoological parks, and theme-parks also offer space for advertizing. Tapping this area in an aesthetic way could give better advertizing opportunities.

As a child notice a balloon, it wants to grab it. Balloons are usually sold by hawkers and street vendors who roam around the city on foot or driving a cycle. Festivals, celebrations, fairs and corporate occasions demand a good supply of different types of balloons. The festival of colors--Holi--is one of most famous festival that opens the market for balloons in the form of water balloons. Like kites, the market of balloons is fairly fragmented among micro and cottage industry players. However, innovative concepts, better material selection and attractive designs could throw better opportunities. Are you looking to fill your balloon with air and let it fly!

In the last couple of decades, the consumption of energy has increased due to India's economic rise. Power generation in India is distributed among thermal power plants (75% generation), hydroelectric power plants (21% generation), nuclear power plants (4% generation), and some renewable resources of power generation such as wind energy and solar energy. Renewable resources of energy provide a huge base of opportunities in power generation sector. Are you energized enough to tap it!

It is about saving water and increasing the efficiency. Sprinklers can cover small to large areas and are used for irrigating soil and various types of crops depending on their discharge rate. The usage of sprinklers can be extended to wheat, gram, pulses, vegetables, cotton, soya bean, tea, coffee, and other fodder crops. The application domain of these sprinklers is not simply limited to gardens but can be extended to residential, industrial, hotel, stadiums, grounds, resorts, public & government enterprises, golf links, race courses.
