Well Man! I am from Pakistan but that does not mean I have any grudge. My true assesment or spontaneous view is that because of the situation of geo-politics and ofcourse the relationship between Pakistan and India, nobody want to be a part of situation where Pakistn and India (God bless us) again in any tense situation, I mean when any country think about investment in defence sector of these two countries they have to think closely or stop thinking.\na layman view

ITS BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES HAS NOW UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FUTURE BELONGS TO INDIA AND CHINA . THE GROWTH STATISTICS OF INDIA CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ITS ALL SET TO OVERTAKE USA BY 2050 . SO INORDER TO KEEP CHINA UNDER CONTROL U.S NEEDS THE HELP OF INDIA . ALSO NOW THE U.S CANNOT AVOID INDIA . THEY ARE ALREADY IN A VERY GOOD POSITION WITH INDIA'S ECONOMY VERY STRONG AND CRUISING AHEAD FASTER THAN EVER . ALSO INDIA HAS BECOME THE CENTRE FOR MANY INNOVATIONS BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY SKILLED WORK FORCE AVILABLE IN INDIA .\nINDIA ALSO IS A EMERGING AS A STRONG MILITARY POWER WITH ITS 4 TH LARGEST AIRFORCE . 6TH LARGEST NAVY AND 2ND LARGEST ARMY . \n\nINSHORT NOW IT WILL BE FOOLISH IF U.S DOES NOT STAND WITH INDIA .INDIA CAN BE A RELIABLE PARTENER IN U.S WAR AGAINST TERROR .\n\nALSO INDIA ALTHOUGH NOT SIGNED NPT , HAS A VERY GOOD RECORD OF NON PROLIFERATION NUCLEAR TECH. THAT THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED NPT.\n\nBECAUSE OF ALL THESE REASONS U.S WANTS INDIA WITH IT FROM NOW.

Because India is a very challenging place, there is alot of dynamic young people with high degrees in every field.\nI'd suggest if you have experience to look in other countries such as Oman, Qatar that are nearby and they demand indian workforce.\nBest of luck.

Investing directly in production in another country, either by buying a company there or establishing new operations of an existing business. This is done mostly by companies as opposed to financial institutions, which prefer indirect INVESTMENT abroad such as buying small parcels of a country's supply of SHARES or BONDS. Foreign direct investment (FDI) grew rapidly during the 1990s before slowing a bit, along with the global economy, in the early years of the 21st century. Most of this investment went from one OECD country to another, but the share going to developing countries, especially in Asia, increased steadily.\n\nThere was a time when economists considered fdi as a substitute for trade. Building factories in foreign countries was one way of jumping TARIFF barriers. Now economists typically regard FDI and trade as complementary. For example, a firm can use a factory in one country to supply neighbouring markets. Some investments, especially in SERVICES industries, are essential prerequisites for selling to foreigners. Who would buy a Big Mac in London if it had to be sent from New York?\n\nGovernments used to be highly suspicious of FDI, often regarding it as corporate imperialism. Nowadays they are more likely to court it. They hope that investors will create jobs, and bring expertise and technology that will be passed on to local FIRMS and workers, helping to sharpen up their whole economy. Furthermore, unlike financial investors, multinationals generally invest directly in plant and equipment. Since it is hard to uproot a chemicals factory, these investments, once made, are far more enduring than the flows of HOT MONEY that whisk in and out of emerging markets (see DEVELOPING COUNTRIES).\n\nMERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS are a significant form of FDI. For instance, in 1997, more than 90% of FDI into the United States took the form of mergers rather than of setting up new subsidiaries and opening factories.

I don't think Indian Software companies have trouble finding well trained eager employees.  They have a huge and growing pool of young, intelligent, multi lingual, and employable citizens.  I believe eager applicants are beating a path to every company who will hire them.  Why don't you look for a job in Silicon Valley or somewhere in the states?

To develop we need to streamline so we need Business Process Re Engineering. Of course your land has to free and ready for it all. If it's a country where war rages then you would social process re engeering, if that exists. I think in a country like India - go for it

India is still considered as a developing country. I think its gonna take a long time before it can be declared as a developed country.

India was once an ally of the Soviet Union and was part of the now non-existent Non Aligned Movement. They also have a long history of non-violence. They can probably be a trade partner, like China is, but not a military ally.\n\nAnd I agree with MC Hummer. Indians, regardless of their state of industrialization, voted out an ultra-conservative, ultra-patriotic government for a more liberal one. A billion people voting to do that is indeed quite a democracy.

here is a report on SEZ special economic zones \nthis ll give u a brief idea\nThe centre’s move has hit the Indore SEZ, the first operational SEZ in the country. The fear is that, in the absence of pragmatism on labour issues, companies in the SEZs will never be able to compete in the international markets. “The new SEZ law is unlikely to address this critical issue of labour flexibility,” says a Morgan Stanley report. “A restrictive labour law environment has been one of the major hurdles to the development of the Indian manufacturing sector.”\n\nIt is worth noting in this context that the Left parties are taking their cues not from their counterparts in China but from the trade unions in the West. The latter have their own agenda, principally the protection of the jobs of their constituents.\n\nIs there anything to be said for the other side ? the argument that India does not have a social security system and, thus, jobs have to be protected? There is some logic on the face of it. But the protection is being granted to a minor fraction of the population ? the organised sector workforce. In welfare societies, it applies to the entire population.\n\nSo is the SEZ bill going to lead to a huge jump in foreign direct investment, exports and growth? Not in the short term. Though trade unions have been somewhat defanged these days, they can still act as roadblocks. “We are getting to where we want to go,” says an economist. “But at the Hindu rate of growth. That, thankfully, is no longer 4 per cent, but half of what we can easily achieve.”

I seriously 'a lack of adequate resources' is the main reason behind the failure of few start ups. Especially so if the venture is overseas. For the many market research (either physically going into the propose country / through other resources), it really does not help if the venture requires enough monetary funds at least for the first six months to support the deficit. The suppliers and distributor also plays a major role in making your venture work and careful design chain of suppliers and distributors who you can rely on - considering that 'resources' are as mentioned above but cannot be find in the country investing in which imports are much expensive and takes a longer time.

I agree with the previous posters. On top of what they had to say, I believe that India probably doesn't have very many Olympic quality training facilities and Olympic coaches. \n      Also, how many people do you know would be able to spend the money for the equipment, training, and traveling across the world for 4 years to compete in internationl competitions in order to participate in the Olympics? Also, like someone already pointed out is the pressure on education. The competition for eduction is insanely fierce right now, and I doubt very many people will be interested in "wasting" time doing other things. \n       Another point is that most of the sports that are popular in India aren't really considered Olympics sports (like cricket and soccer).

ya,,,india has qualified arter the second world war,,,but that was an invitation by fifa bcoz most of countries who were been destryed in war refused 2 take part in it,,,by this way india had a golden chance 2 play in world cup but india also refused 2 take part in it bcoz they wanted 2 play without shoes in world cup but according 2 fifa rules they must wear shoes if they want to play it it,,,,thus india lost their chance play in world cup since then indians are unable 2 play in wrold cup,,,,,

Looking at the global scenario, government will not able to implement it as foreign investors and industrialist in India will not support it. Also it will be very difficult to implement in practical. I feel its only a political issue and will die its own death after some time.
