Lots of my friends are without jobs (including my best friend & better half). Everyone’s trying to figure out where to land that next best job or find that next best business opportunity. Moving to India isn’t a very practical option for many of us who’ve lived here longer than we’ve lived in India and doing nothing isn’t an option either.

But if you aren’t averse to traveling and doing some initial ground work to investigate possibilities, how about checking out opportunities in Slovenia?

Yep, Slovenia! It’s that tiny little country in Central Europe, located in close proximity to Austria, Czech Republic, and Hungary. No, the Slovenian government hasn’t hired me to do their marketing (if only they could be convinced of how good I am at this) but alas, I’m writing this out of the goodness of my heart to help you all.

This article I read today intrigued me. The writer is David Parks (an author who writes on several topics of interest) and in this article, he states that Indians are looking at Slovenia for long-term trade and investment opportunities. He goes on to say that:

“Major industries in Slovenia include electronics, automobiles, textiles, wood products, ferrous metallurgy, machine tools and electric power equipment. In addition, industries such as pharmaceuticals, paper and furniture provide a major thrust to the Slovenian economy.”

So if you are like me, an entrepreneur, you are already thinking about how you can leverage your know-how, your India connections, and your Corporate America experiences to identify opportunities for work or business in Slovenia. So go for it! (I may be doing some checking of my own so don’t be surprised to see me around the corner when you are in Slovenia.)

P.S.

This blog marks my return from a self-imposed hiatus from blogging here on this website. Lots happening and so I’m finding little time to do what I enjoy most, pontificating in the form of my blogs. But I’m baaaack now.

Hope you’ll come back regularly to read my blogs and post your “constructive” comments. I hope to pontificate on all topics of interest including and not limited to Asian Indians and politics, education, networking, business opportunities, and more.

Happy reading……
