Facts about India
Conclusion
I don’t have a lot of time today. I am going to be brief… maybe about 7-10 minutes tops…
We all have heard about the information superhighway. But welcome to the real superhighway….
I will touch briefly about the current GDP growth, pharmaceutical
I will quickly run thru the facts about india but I have some interesting slides here.

3. Total Highway distance: 3514 miles
Distance of Lincoln freeway: Times square to Lincoln Park, SF: 3000 miles
As we all know it was President Eisenhower’s experiences as a young soldier crossing the country in 1919 and his appreciation of the German Auto Bahan network led to the creation of the US Highway system
Prime Minister Vajpayee championed this cause and he understood that he wanted a general to run this project. Major general Khanduri was the guy he went to.
I will talk about this map in detail in the next couple of slides.
Toll and Annuity. In a Toll Model, the concessionaire (private sector) is required to meet the upfront/construction cost and the expenditure on annual maintenance.

4. Real GDP
gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita for the year of 2005,
As u can see india and china are neck to neck. But with india’s infrastructure improving to attract more manufacturing jobs, the GDP is only going to grow faster
===================Optional====================
China on the other hand grows about 10% a year.
But at the same time FDI into china is about 64B and FDI into India is 10 Billion
India has yet to build a critical mass in FDI, having only initiated investment-attracting reforms in China’s pro-FDI regime has been in place since India’s technology and IT-oriented economy has received fewer capital-intensive FDI flows relative to China, whose entire manufacturing base has been, in large part, established by foreign multinational companies.
IT is a classical example of how India was thus more specialized in skill-intensive products than other
countries with similar levels of income and size comparable to china
Key words: water, electricity, road

5. Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
$6.5 billion and growing at 8-10% annually,
4th largest pharmaceutical industry in the world, and is expected to be worth $12 billion by 2008.

170 biotechnology companies in India
A new law amending trials by foreign pharmaceutical companies
Drug tests on Indian patients
Doctors as reseachers
Biocon and dr. reddy’s labs, ranbaxy are classic examples.
Last year, the government took a more controversial step, amending a long-standing law that limited the kind of trials that foreign pharmaceutical companies could conduct. That law allowed companies to test drugs on Indian patients only after the drugs had been proven safe in trials conducted in the country of origin. In January, the government threw out that constraint. India, the brilliant hub of outsourced labor, was positioning itself in a newly lucrative role: guinea pig to the world.
particularly since pharma companies reward high enrollments with prizes like vacations to Hawaii and Europe. "A lot of private hospital doctors have suddenly become 'researchers,'" Kalantri notes. "They will enroll almost anybody and recruit for almost any trial, whether or not it helps the patient." And while the money earned from a trial in Sevagram goes to the hospital, elsewhere it may be paid to the doctor. "A lot goes into personal bank accounts," he says.

On a side note I am not sure how many of u know that for the first time we have a pakistani born man as india’s prime minister and a indian born man as the president of pakistan.
MIT's Yasheng Huang points out that India's companies use their capital far more efficiently than China's; they benchmark to global standards and are better managed than Chinese firms. Despite being much poorer than China, India has produced dozens of world-class companies like Infosys, Ranbaxy and Reliance. Huang attributes this difference to the fact that India has a real and deep private sector (unlike China's many state-owned and state-funded companies), a clean, well-regulated financial system and the sturdy rule of law. Another example: every year Japan awards the coveted Deming Prizes for managerial innovation, and over the last four years, they have been awarded more often to Indian companies than to firms from any other country, including Japan.
