India is the flavour of the season

Be it Davos or Newsweek, India seems to be top on the agenda everywhere. To coincide with Bush’s visit to India, Newsweek has come out with an elaborate cover story on the growing dominance of India in the global arena (particularly on the economic front). Fareed Zakaria, editor of the International Edition of Newsweek was at the World Economic Summit and he writes about his experience at Davos:

As you got off the plane in Zurich, there were large billboards extolling incredible India. Davos itself was plastered with signs. world's fastest growing free market democracy! proclaimed the town's buses. When you got to your room, you found an iPod Shuffle loaded with Bollywood songs, and a pashmina shawl, gifts from the Indian delegation. When you entered the meeting rooms, you were likely to hear an Indian voice, one of the dozens of CEOs of world-class Indian companies.

There is also a 5-minute podcast interview with Fareed Zakaria on the same topic that he has dealt with in the cover story. Since outsourcing continues to be a buzzword in India related stories, Newsweek has a separate piece on how the Americans are no longer bothered about their earlier concerns about outsourcing.

  • It is heartening to know what people think of India these days- the reality checks would be that without a proper infrastructure in place and things like credit checks like in the US, Indian Industry shall never prosper.

    Since you have specifically mentioned careers, this maybe of interest to you:-
