Sizzling India

I vividly remember my childhood days when all my cousins used to go to US and European universities for higher education. Their tales of the land far far away used to be really ‘Cool’. I used to ask them so many questions that they always commented ‘You will too experience the land once you grow up’. I had always wanted to know what made the other countries click making India a secondary or a non choice country. The answer was inevitably was ‘India is atleast 50 years behind and land of missed opportunity’. Once I came to Europe and saw most of the north-western Europe, I did not found it strikingly different than a any major city of India. I instantly called my sister and discussed how thing are almost similar to India and that leaving alone the climatic conditions and Caucasian breed of homosapiens there was not any difference. She told me in the exact words ‘Kiddo, we used to be there 15 years ago. Now things have changed and changed for good.’ I was so proud of the thought that I told the reporter taking my interview for a computer magazine that any major city in EU is almost comparable to Indian city ;). He was so impressed by the confidence in my speech and I gained my confidence from the truth that is on the ground. India’s transformation from land of missed opportunities to the land of great opportunities is not fiction. ‘India Everywhere‘ started by IBEF at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland six months ago portrayed the vibrant economy (GDP: $ 726 Bn, Growth@ 8.4%) and opportunities for everyone in this global community. India has all the ingredients that add up to become a developed nation by 2020. India right now offers the world’s best VFM (value for money) package for any organization or an individual with intention to setup business in India.

Now my colleague (a very good friend almost family ) and I have opened a IT/ITES company recently and have already started to reap the benefits of the rapid growth in India.

Entrepreneurial mindset of the new generatioan will be interested to explore ‘the land of plenty for all’. Be it IT, ITES, Bio-Tech/Pharmaceuticals, Space, Science, Manufacturing, Logistics, Fashion Designs, Gems, Retail, Banking or Finance/Accounting Indians have worked hard to establish themselves as a quality brand. Not only the Indian and MNC powerhouses but small, medium and individual players like us too are making merry with the growth factor involved in India. It is not only the apt human resource pool that favors India but also the cultural, socio-political and natural factors that enhance India as a brand. According to McKinsey’s Michael Fernandes the retail market size in India could grow to $500 billion in next 5 to 6 years. Whoa! Who wants to miss that.

I welcome all to explore endless options with India.
