Indian investor - time to consider equities !

It's time for retail investors in India to be  investing in stocks and this could be done with mutual funds for the most part for an average investor. The returns on gold and real estate thus far had a good run and it's time to think about the returns on these asset classes at these lofty levels. I always think how can it be possible to setup a business in India given the ridiculous prices of real estate. Real estate prices in India for various reasons had risen astonishingly over the past decade and  this is going to be a huge problem going forward. Buying the real estate cheap or at a reasonable price is the most common way to setup and run a business profitably. The alternative options like leasing the land on a long term basis is not at possible currently due to the messy legal system.
