Now the world’s fifth largest and fastest growing economy, India has become the major alternative to China and specializes in “friendshoring,” placing overseas operations in friendly countries. Gunjan Bagla, CEO of the California consultancy Amritt Inc., describes the billions of dollars being earned by biotech and hi-tech firms such as Medtronic, Apple, Dell, IBM, Honeywell and Oracle. More diverse than the US, Gunjan describes how India has become an innovation hub; a land of curves, not straight lines; a land of sophisticated scientists and female CEOs; has an illusion of communication; and is a land where the vast majority of consumer products are sold in small packets for the mass market. Gunjan’s podcast also describes how India’s many contradictions are all true.
