Just returned. Having spent several days in India, besides several years doing business with(in) India and much more time observing India, I am still questioning on the bright economic prospects of this country.

In many aspects — e.g. having huge and fast growing population mostly starting on the bottom steps of consumer staircase and ready to overwork for surprisingly low rates — this economy seems being destinyed to recapture China’s leadership position in the global industrialization mixed with new economy marathon. Moreover, it was far better prepared to pioneer gig economy compared to China, as it has had much better starting position in computer sciences and related human resources.

However, this bright incredible future seems to stay just a forever potential, so far not realizing in reality. Why? May be that is mentality and culture, may be climate (usual excuse for both extremely cold and hot countries)… Even food approach says a lot — “if a dish is not tasty — that’s cause lack of massala”. Btw, there is also “massala film” movie production style — like spices, freely mixed genres. Might Indian economy follow the same way? However, the main consumer of it will still stay inside. Same as with food.

Even taking into account the above, I have all grounding to believe in good potential for (our, e-comm, other, …) business in India. Based, as mentioned, on its high growth, mainly due to accelerating internal demand, same time as lasting competitiveness of local production.
