A. While I am no authority in answering your questions, I
do admire your zeal and enthusiasm to start your own
company.
There are no organizations (that I am aware of) in India
who will help you start your own company unless you
have money to pay for their services. I can offer you a
suggestion.
If you have completed your MCA which I believe is the
equivalent of a computer science degree abroad, and you
want to be your own boss by starting your own software
company then you need to do the ground work first.
To make money on software you need clients who want
software developed. For those who have limited funds,
the easiest method of getting into the software business is
to join one of the many software brokerage websites that
are on the web.
Here is how this works: Many small and medium sized
companies that require software programs for their
business find it cheaper to get the software developed by
independent programmers. This way they get the work
done and do not need to hire programmers permanently.
Enter companies like 'Rent a Programmer' where Clients
post what software they want developed, what features
they require and how much they are willing to pay for it.
Programmers view the posted listings and post a price
they can do the work for.
The client then picks the person he wants the work done
by. The amount to pay for the software is deposited by the
client, with the so called 'Rent a Programmer' company.
This is to ensure that the programmer gets paid when the
work is completed.
When the software is completed the client gets the
software code and the programmer gets paid his accepted
bid amount less 3 to 15% fee of the 'Rent a Programmer'
company.
Check the Internet and you will find
many companies that offer such
services. This is a great way for
programmers to get experience, get to
know clients and make some money. Once
you have enough confidence, you can bid on many
software development programs and hire other
programmers to do the work, perhaps a start for your
new software company.
One such company is called 'Rent a Coder' and there are
many more. To join such companies there is no cost
involved. So do some searching over the Internet. Good
Luck!
