India beckons....

We have tried to give a honest picture of India - the pros

• A nation of 890 million of which about 300 million are English speaking.
• A growing middle class which exceeds the United States population.
• A large trained and skilled workforce.
• Agriculturally self sufficient - a major exporter of rice and wheat.
• A country of technological sophistication. (in defence, space technology etc)
• A thriving democracy.
• A global network of expatriate entrepreneurs.
• A national savings rate of 24%.
• A functioning legal setup.
• A functioning instituional framework.
• Established financial institutions and markets which are modernising.

• Uncertainity about the emerging political leadership.
• Entrenched political and bureaucratic corruption.
• Low literacy level.
• High poverty.
• Possibility of religious, social and ethinic strife.
• Enron, Cargill, Kentucky Fried chicken...??.. (Yeah, but is any foreign investor truly chickening out.??!!)

India is expected to achieve population control within this decade. A trickle down effect accompanying the present growth has ensured that the quality of life is increasing. There is conclusive economic evidence of a steady decline in poverty level. If the coming elections, due in a few months results in a stable government, then we are convinced that economic growth in India should truly accelerate. If you are an investor or an entrepreneur with a global outlook India should interest you.

It is inevitable that India will soon become a modern and dynamic economy largely driven by market forces in the coming years. The big boys know it and they are already here - you name it - Merrill Lynch, Goldmann Sachs, Morgan and Stanely, Templeton ...., Ford, Enron, Mercedes-Benz to name a few. Forget the big boys.....

This site is also for you - medium to small enterprises and individual entrepreuners who wish to take advantage of India's

• financial markets and institutions.
• skilled low-cost labour work force
• skilled low-cost managerial talent (or white collar jobs whatever it is).
• legal set-up and a functionong democracy.
