Today, I got some really useful hints from a professor at Kanazawa University who knows a lot about expanding into India. He gave me information that was more than just answers to my questions. It seems he has a lot of connections related to India, so I plan to ask for his help when looking for business partners or entering the Indian market.

One thing that struck me was his explanation of why startups in India are thriving and why the government is able to invest heavily in them. In Japan, there are established customer bases, large corporations, and supply chains, making it hard to quickly switch to new businesses or technologies. In emerging countries like India, there are many unchecked issues, which makes it easier to dive into new ventures.

India is challenging for marketing because each state has a different cultural background and customer base. However, it's still a growing market. There are niches where big companies can't enter, and that's where we can make our move.

Also, I think we should definitely make use of Japan's strength as a content powerhouse.

Setting that aside, I realized the importance of thinking from the perspective of issues, whether in business or anything else. By identifying the fundamental issues, we can focus on finding answers without getting sidetracked.
