Doing business in India

There is a simple rule that every foreigner must follow when trying to do business in India. Never try to understand India or Indians. This may sound clichéd but you are better off not trying to understand the country or its citizens until you have identified your self with India. India has long been a target of conquerors and businessmen who wanted the same thing-wealth. However, it has always been that India has conquered the conquerors and has gained more from those who came to her seeking wealth.

India Outside the Taj Mahal

We all know that India is one of the major emerging world economies, a country whose economy is growing rather than dipping down into recession as many countries in the west are. The population of India is also tipped to overtake that of China’s approximately 1.2 billion within a few decades, making it the most populous nation in the world.

But I feel that too many visitors to India not only ignore the modern face of the country, with its skyscrapers, business parks and impressive city centres, but they also ignore much of its past heritage and culture. Most tourists concentrate on the beaches of Goa or sights like the Taj Mahal, and although these places are essential to see, you don’t want to miss out on what else India can offer to holidaymakers or business travellers alike.

Holiday In India – Live The Chaos

Those who have lived in India will understand the pun hidden in the name of the website. CBSE happens to stand for Central Board of Secondary Education. This Board supplements the efforts of Boards in each State set up for Secondary Education. Being a Centrally supported body, it has access to more funds and is run more professionally. Indians can be paranoid about education. In such a scenario, having your child studying in a CBSE school is often considered the More

Diabetes – Epidemic of India

India has a population of about 1.1 billion out of which 35 million suffer with diabetes. According to research, by about 2025 the number could increase to 70 million. Diabetes mostly affects the working class. The annual health care cost for diabetes in India is about $2.2 billion. Many people struggle due to the poorly controlled diabetes. This leads to disability, mortality and other health complications. Last year during my holidays I stayed at a hotel in Looe where I More

If you are thinking about traveling to India you might want to consider how you can get a much deeper understanding of a complex nation. Many people will set off to the great sub continent with an image cemented in their minds of sun dappled Goan beaches and the majestic Taj Mahal. Others, are interested in ancient sites or wild life.

Tips for a backpacking trip to India

Before going for a backpacking trip to India it is always good to know a bit about India and its culture. It is always good to learn a few phrases in Hindi which is the national language, but a phrasebook in Hindi would not help if you are in the middle of Karnataka which is in the South of India, where the locals only know kannada. India is divided into various states; each state has a very different local language More

Calcutta’s Confused Cattle

India has more to offer the world than curry. While this may seem like an obvious statement, it’s important to remember that cultural stereotypes – especially those perpetuated by the mainstream media – should be immediately disregarded when visiting a country. Apart from anything, it is far too easy to spot established patterns and ignore the other cultural idiosyncrasies which may be far more interesting. I like to think of it as cultural lock picking - somehow navigating around the More

Hitchhike around India, Just for Fun

Hitchhiking has been the way that people have chosen to see India for many decades. In recent years though hitchhiking has been increasingly less popular due to young people’s concern for their safety and for the potential for danger. Young people are increasingly travelling substantially further afield, choosing to head to Asia or Australia and New Zealand on some round the world journey rather than staying close to home and learning about their neighbours in a much more sustainable way.
