About the Indian growth story!

Wow!

I moved back to India in January 2010. And what can I say? I've had an absolutely fantastic time so far.

My office is in the International Tech Park at Bangalore. Entry to this complex follows a fairly elaborate security procedure.

On my first day here, I spent close to 20 minutes getting through this (this has since come down to about 2 minutes, now that I have a park id, and stuff). After this, I was fairly annoyed. It was at this time that I met my manager for the first time. I told him this, and his answer was... "Well, if you think about it, this place is a very valuable asset. Just look at all the young and talented people around you."

That is true.

People here are much younger than people in the US. They are highly ambitous. And they have a lot more energy. They want a lot from life, and their careers. They run where they can walk, and walk when they don't have to.

And they are talented too!

If the US atmosphere is like a well greased and well calibrated machine, the Indian atmosphere is very close to an atomic reaction. If controlled, you are looking at enormous potential. Uncontrolled, you are looking at an explosion!

Things happen really really fast here. But if you run along, the potential is huge!
