Startup companies are becoming really popular in Cochin now. New startup companies are coming up every day and most of them are also able to create a niche for themselves in the market.

Long gone are the days when entrepreneurs were not well supported in the state. The Kerala government has in fact introduced many economic policies favoring entrepreneurship development in this year.

When you are planning a startup business, you need not always have an idea. The ideas can come up on the basis of requirements in the market. Flipkart came up when Sachin and Binny Bansal found out the scope of an e-commerce site for the Indian market.

Here is a list of hotspots that entrepreneurs can venture into in 2013, according to Forbes.

TV and Home Theater Installation Services: When young graduates are being paid really well, they look forward to buying all the latest gadgets in the market every now and then. Though there are people for selling the products, the retailers would love to have someone who can deliver and setup the devices for the customers. When these services are offered at a competitive price, retailers can use this as a cost cutting technique as they will not have to spend their resources on this service for customers

Travel Agencies: Though several portals like Makemytrip and GoIbibo.Com have already established themselves in this market, the requirement of such services is still very high in the Indian market.

Virtual Data rooms: Online data sharing is becoming very common these days as such services help to increase the trust of the services offered.

Social network game development: The exponential growth in the Smartphone market has also resulted in a steep increase of the active user base in social media networks.
