Ruthless? That's how the business world is going to treat someone that starts a business with no background in it whatsoever. Or someone who relies on business advice gleaned from a post or posts in a discussion forum.
My read of the original post gave me the impression of someone that just had a lightbulb turn on in their head thinking 'This sounds like a good idea' and didn't want to do any further research on the idea.
So my suggestion:
Start writing a business plan. As you go through that exercise you'll find all the areas that you'll need to investigate and learn. There's plenty of websites and business plan examples out there on the internet. Start with the mission statement and go from there. Example:
Mission statement - To be the best Siemens distributor in India. What questions arise? Maybe, how do I become a Siemens distributor? Check out
www.Siemens.com for the answer to that and you'll probably find someone to talk to in India's corporate headquarters that will be able to fill you in on the requirements, or if they're looking for additional distributors at all.
As you write the business plan you'll deal with all the business topics and should research each one - things like insurance, marketing, competitive analysis, pro formas, etc.
After a year or two when your business plan is complete you'll have the plan of action. Of course, you'll have a plan but from my interpretation of the original post you won't have any background or experience in the business, which may not be helpful in raising the capital required.
My apologies for being blunt and straightforward. Starting a distributorship is something that is a fairly large undertaking, in my opinion, and not something that should be decided on a whim. If the OP just wants to start a company to resell Siemens equipment with a value added service like, say, engineering and automation design, then in Canada it would be as simple as doing business under the name 'John Doe Company', buying a laptop and other small office supplies, and establishing a relationship with the local Siemens distributor. Oh yeah, then you'd need to get customers...and while investigating the 'how to start a business' section of the provincial website you'd find that the liability of a sole proprietorship stinks so you may want a corporation...then your first client asks about insurance and WSIB...
So my suggestion still stands - research business planning and start one. One of the first steps/questions will be something like 'is there a need for the product or service'. This will probably make you think of some more specific questions than "1. How Should I Proceed?"
