Vrijesh Lunawat (name changed) was eyeing his next promotion but his dream was shattered by the global financial crisis. His job, Lunawat says, is now under threat.
"I am mentally prepared to be told by my boss that they are relieving me," he says matter-of-factly.
Planning his next step, Lunawat has scraped together Rs 12 lakh (Rs 1.2 million), borrowing from his family members and putting together his savings, to start a value-added services company that will focus on delivering financial insights and market updates through SMS or voice call.
To get started, he has bought himself a dandy Apple Macintosh computer, running on wireless Internet connection in one room of his two-room apartment in Navi Mumbai.
"This may be my future office so basic investment on infrastructure is crucial," he explains.
