Need serious advice about a new concept in business…?
I live in India and I am working for a company which provides online tuitions to students of USA.
Company is planning to start Online Teaching of Indian Languages. We are targeting Non Resident Indians who are poor in their native language. For example, if an Indian guy is born and bought up in USA and he is not so PRO in Hindi language, he can book sessions with us and learn Hindi. In this new concept, people will book sessions in advance, qualified tutors will teach them language by using Skype and Web Camera (Audio+Video).
I want your opinion. Do you think people will pay to learn their native language? During my trips in various countries I have noticed that so many people want their kids to learn native language but will they like to pay to learn it?
Serious replies please……

I think you might develop a little niche market for yourself. I have only heard of taking Hindi in one college setting I’ve been in. There’s not a huge demand from the general populace in the US to learn languages, but of those who do, Spanish and French abound. Other European languages follow, and I’ve seen Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese language classes.
Again you might be one of the few providers of such a service, and if you can selectively advertise, I’m sure you will find customers. All the best!
