		<description>I agree along with whatever all people has stated, the most important thing is to look at it coming from a distinct point of view (as I can the majority of of the time). Other than that, you have got a pretty perfect webpage right here, hold up the excellent work.job</description>

		<description>Dear Sampad,  
 
Tend to agree with the overall argument made here. But there are a few thoughts which do cross one&#039;s mind. Bharat Student and MBA education sites, a site built on the fantasy niche of young users who are addicted to the net, seems to be a good example of what you are saying. Expect education to make inroads in this broad &#039;horizontal&#039; to cater to specifics such as K-12, subject centric (maths) and so forth...  Real Estate and Travel have some relevant business figures to boast about in India.  
 
Dunno how some of the other niche sites like iDiva (Women) are faring but indiaparenting.com does amazingly well within its TG (Young Parents)  
 
Most tend to ignore is the sales or messaging potential of an absolute niche following and participation. But, i feel that the industry is still learning to appreciate the value of 500 over 50,000, even if the product is highly targeted. They will succumb to cater to the horizontal, purely cuz of business and sales pressures of  reaching a mass market.  
 
The cajones to stare in the face of opportunity and withstand unrealistic target sales numbers by having a perspective about the product offering and the niche market it caters to, will nuture many such ventures.  
 
Strictly, my opinion.  
 
Cheers  
Hemant

		<description>I will second Sanjay&#039;s argument about : &quot;selling the tall-and-big clothes&quot; as a niche, is there enough volume there, to make it an attractive business?? 
 
In developed countries, niche is great and it works. In India, if we are talking about niche, the promotion has to be that rich &amp; penetrating to reach the niche. Hence we are talking about VC money and lack of revenue for considerable time.
