Perception
by SANJAY GUHATHAKURTA on Jun 14, 2008 01:51 AM   Permalink

Strange thoughts. Can't really agree with all.
Firtly, population. Just because businessmen like Mr.Narayanmurthi and Nilekani have taken advantage of India's high population, it does not mean that it ceases to be India's biggest problem. Mr. Nilekani needs to think out-of-his "Infosys box".

Secondly, entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship in India? It would make a cat laugh. Mr.Nilekani was a perfect example of entrepreneurship, no doubt. However, to generalise that India is breeding ground of entrepreneurship, is a false statement. Yes, India has a huge pool of entrepreneur skills, but who channelises them? The Govt? Question doesn't arise. People like Mr.Nilekani? Neither. That's why, in India, in terms of companies, there are very few options the average Indian IT guy has. And if you count the number of non-Indian companies present in India, the number far outstretches the number of Indian-owned companies.
