Financial Crisis Global Opportunity


Yes, it is true. The financial crisis is not a global thing anymore. A lot of places in the world see their economies grow at rates others are just dreaming of. In India I see the growth topping 5% and so did our company over the last year. Expanding in our new location in the months to come we expect sales to cross our projections. India is HOT and very likely to be the next selling market for many international companies. What a great opportunity to launch your product or service in a billion peoples market. Now, there are some cross-cultural difficulties to overcome...we know a lot about that.
The Indian Business Culture is not always efficient and values differ from the ones we have been taught in the western parts of the world. 'In your face' corruption, bartering, quality understand...yes, that will be a bit of of a challenge. But as always, every challenge has interesting opportunities to constructively add to the quality of life, anywhere.
RTL-Z (Dutch national news channel) has been very curious about the development of my Indian company and send a reporter to do an interview...pretty cool!!
More business soon!
