India

India is an ancient country

Steeped in Tradition

And Prayer

With many cultures

And festivals...a festival for color,Holi

As well as a festival of lights or Diwali

Road side businesses

And businesses within glass walls

Sprawling cities

And decrepit slums

With images that make sense

And those that don’t

A land of contrasts

With humbling poverty in one strata

And growing affluence in another

A land embracing change

An educated populace

With 52% below the age of 25

A country that can be tapped for process savings

As well as savings in new plant set up

Though red tape exists

India is also a dealmaker

And Jaguar

India is also innovating with a $2500 retail car launched by TATA
