Tata Sky’s new Tata SKY Plus is a classic example of how new technology is launched all over the world. Iphone, by Apple was similar example, where they first launched the basic version of the product, which had a very high style quotient and then later launched improved versions with better features and fewer bugs and finally reduced the costs of their product too. The same was done to Ipod. Tata Sky is the undisputed leader in the DTH service in India and DISH TV and the newly launched Airtel’s DTH have a long way. Innovative technology has a market and if your technology is good then your product is bound to be successful. Tata Sky initially launched the multiple angles viewing of cricket matches, another first for the Indian television. Their introductory package included this with other utility features such as the Activ News and Horoscopes, giving the viewer a complete value for money. Now as time progressed and the sales of Tata Sky almost reached a saturation level, they have i

Major Sandeep was one of the brave men who was killed in the gun fight between the terrorists and the NSG at the Taj Mahal hotel yesterday. The 31-year-old was leading a team of NSG commandos in the Taj operation when one of his men was shot. Sandeep turned back to help. He arranged for his evacuation and then, disregarding his own safety, chased the terrorists to another floor of the huge Taj Mahal hotel, continuously engaging them in battle. Isolated from the rest of his team he eventually fell to the bullets of the terrorists. Seriously hurt, he succumbed to his injuries. He was the only son of his father Unnikrishnan, who had served in ISRO. Along with Major Sandeep, another halwadar in the NSG, Gajendra Singh also fell to the bullets of the terrorists. Hemant Karkare, encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar and Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte, who were all travelling in the same vehicle, were shot dead on the night this ordeal began. I and whole world salutes these heroe

Imagine a country whom we helped in attaining freedom is showing eyes and threatening the national integrity of India. Our puppy now barks at us. The one terrorist caught said that around 20 people from Pakistan and 12 from Bangladesh were involved. We gave them freedom and they returned us this. Bah! The Indo-Pakistani conflict was sparked by the Bangladesh Liberation war, a conflict between the traditionally dominant West Pakistanis and the majority East Pakistanis. The Bangladesh Liberation war ignited after the 1970 Pakistani election, in which the East Pakistani Awami League won 167 of 169 seats in East Pakistan and secured a simple majority in the 313-seat lower house.After the leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, refused to yield the premiership of Pakistan to Mujibur, President Yahya Khan called out the military, which was made up largely of West Pakistanis.Mitro Bahini was the alliance of the Indian Army and the Mukti Bahini (as representation of the Bang

Manmohan Singh has called the ISI chief to India to show him the evidence that proves the involvement of Pakistan nationals in the terror attack. What sort of a puppy behaviour is this. We will welcome our enemy with garlands, pay for his damn visit and give him food to eat,all with the tax payers money. And do we need to show him the proof ? We need to take stricter steps ? What sort of soft prime minister we have who does not have the guts to go ahead with a stricter milllitary policy. What use is he when he can't come with the leader of opposition, L K Advani (and the vice-versa) to atleast show India is united. These petty politicians suck to the core. He has to show this country what strong measures are being taken. It was the responsibility of the ruling party, the UPA to call an all party meeting, which BJP did at the time of IC814 highjacking. And even is the ISI chief is shown the proof, what good will he do. He will only say, "we too are the victims". These Paki

I've collected the headlines of the world's top news sources such as BBC, CNN and the New York Times and this is what they have to say.

Toyota is planning to launch a car in the $5000 range to capture the emerging low cost segment of automobiles in India. Tata's who were the progenitors of low cost economical cars have been followed by many others and Toyota is the latest edition. The advantage of having a low cost car is that it consumes less fuel and is more eco-friendly as compared to the fuel thirsty SUV's. To save the environment we will need low cost cars, who are well in synergy with the environment. Toyota, the world's largest automobile maker has yet to conquer the Indian front. The japanese firm is now trying hard and its engineers are trying to keep to the global brand alive as well as reduce the cost of car. It will be hard for Toyota to make a low cost car since with a global brand like toyota, customers have certain expectations, but the features need to be minimal to reduce costs.But looking at the history of toyota, I am quite confident that they will come out with an excellent and innovativ

Tourism is no longer exploring new places and cultures, but more an amalgamation of an experience driven adventure and new surroundings. The days of lazy holidays on a tropical island are still shining but people are increasingly being driven into having first hand experience of things making their trip a lasting memory rather than just another vacation. Offbeat adventure resorts and the demand for personal and customized holidays is in demand these days. In Bar Camp 5 , there was presentation by a person who escorted people on experiential trips and now has a business of over 5 crore, catering to the needs of corporate trips. A couple in Paris can choose from a variety of local experiences seeing paris by night, a cruise down the sienna river or the Moulin Rouge show. Travel has turned from a business of just logistics to a complete package of an experience centered trips. The decade of the 1990's had set this trend in the west, which is catching up in India with the advent of cor

The Asian doomsday is not far as the three competing powers are fast becoming obsessed with nuclearization. After India got through a successful nuclear deal with the United States, there were talks of China voting for a similar deal with Pakistan. A Pakistan scientist Abdul Khan had started his own laboratory after he was thrown out of the Pak premier labs. He had completed his post graduation from a premier school in United Kingdom on fundamental particles. He had good knowledge of developing nuclear weapons and was successfully working with Pakistan’s nuclear labs for developing nuclear reactors for energy. His senior, Dr Wasim Khan had caught him working on an experiment, which would have led to the development of nuclear arms in Pakistan. Dr Wasim, being an ardent follower of Robert J Oppenheimer had vowed to work for the destruction of nuclear arms at the root itself. Robert J Oppenheimer was the man behind the Manhattan project for developing atom bomb. After seeing the power of

A united nations committee described India's performance as poor after reviewing India's performance after 17 years by the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social, and cultural rights in Geneva (Switzerland) , 6 months back, in May 2008. The reason, I've highlighted this is due to the fact that elections are round the corner and everyone is blabbering about their achievements and trying to denigrate the opposition, forgetting that they collectively have been a big failure. The UN committee asked India to "try harder". Trying harder is totally justified since our respected politicians (more of politics than leadership) our more concerned with "who" is in their state and who is not (Remember Raj). Their life starts and ends at vote bank. The delegation from India was grilled about the status of dalits, tribals and Muslims, and their arguments about the realization of the minority rights were not acceptable to the committee, which insisted that issues

I was recently reading the chapter, 'India and the Bomb' of the book 'Argumentative Indian' by Amartya Sen and I was quite moved and enlightened too as it highlighted the devil hidden in the nuclearisation of nations, especially long time enemies and brothers, India and Pakistan. I've used the term brothers since both of us share the same kind of people with similar thoughts. If you go anywhere abroad, you'll find Indians and Pakistanis being the best friends. Although we become totally different when we reach our home countries. Going back to the early days of the bomb, the father of the atoic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer qouted the bhagawad Gita after his team,Los Alamos tested the atom bomb, in the trinity test in New Mexico. "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one. Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." That was the reaction of the father of the son, which we

Brand India #3 : Indian Automobile Sector - Humble beginning to Global Domination Previously on Brand India Brand India#1 : Introduction Brand India#2 : Lijjat Papad India was one of the late entrants into the automobile sectors, although the earliest foray into this sector being in 1899 with Castrol India. The Indian automobile sector with a global presence has been a major power pusher for Brand India. In this post I have compiled the information of the major Indian automobile industries in a timeline view from TVS motors in 1911 to maruti in 1981. The History of the Automobile sector Karl Benz is generally acknowledged for as the inventor of the modern automobile. In 1879 Benz was granted a patent for his first engine, which had been designed in 1878.His first Motorwagon was built in 1885 and he was awarded the patent for its invention as of his application on January 29, 1886.In 1896, Benz designed and patented the first internal-combustion flat engine, called a boxermotor in Germ

The chilly winds of slowdown have been quite troublesome for almost all of us, but despite all that chill, there are some safe havens. It is not exactly a safe haven, but a shelter from the cold. The shelter you were planning for all those years. After the RBI's move and governments assurance to monitor the liquidity condition on daily basis, the public sector banks have cut interest rates by 0.5 to 0.75 percent. The floating home loan rate will be available for 10.25%-11% for loans upto 30 lakhs and a maximum of 12% for loans above 30 lakh. The difference of this will have a direct impact on your Equated monthly installments by about Rs 2000. Although it is being widely speculated that the buyers are currently putting all big purchases on hold because of the market with a fear of slow down and high inflation and will not take the bait. The progressive slowdown in demand for the residential sector and investors in the last couple of quarters was a result of RBI's multiple inter

The perfect children's day gift by ISRO The mission has been accomplished, without any hiccups. We are there, the dreams are closer as impact probe being taken by Chandrayaan -1, India's first moon mission lands on moon. Its a proud moment for all Indians and takes us into the next lap of space race. The idea of putting a flag of India on the probe was an excellent idea given by a prominent scientist and former president of India, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam. The timing of the mission has been immaculate too. The probe has landed when India celebrates children's day, the birthday of the first prime minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. It is time to celebrate and finally we get to see some positive news on TV after all the ATS, Raj Thackeray, crap. Previous posts on Chandrayaan -1 Chandrayaan - 1 : The home run :- ( November 13, 2008 )Chandrayaan-1 has hit the home run.

The round 1 of the seven match India England matches was played at Rajkot. It was a extra-ordinary performance by the Indian team as the batting battery powered the 158 run success over the visitors. Yuvraj Singh, much like the Salman Khan of Yuvraaj was facing tough time even more since his peers including Dhoni,Gambhir and sehwag had simply overshadowed him. Although he may claim, he had nothing to prove to anybody, he still has to prove himself as a senior responsible player of the Indian team, complementing it with tests, now since Sourav Ganguly has vacated a spot. The game was truly a class magnum opus of batting and team work, with the team after being given a jet start with the consistent pair of Gambhir and Virender Sehwag. They now remind me of the days of glory of Sachin and Ganguly, when as a child I watched them crushing the opposition. Still six more to go. Kevin Pietersen, will have to regroup his team for the round-2 of the battle of this 7 match series.

Bus trips give you a chance to actually get into the blood stream of a city. It also gives you a chance to discover new things and new kinds of people, the kind of people we normal call as an item. A bus trip today was my encounter with a middle aged lady, who with her aggression and attitude made more than 20 males(me too) feel small and timid in front of her. I had stopped travelling by bus as it was quite a bumpy and dusty ride. My maruti 800 was supporting me until yesterday, when it broke down. The bus route was 764, one of the busiest routes in Delhi. I fortunately got a seat and the ride was going smoothly until the passenger next to me got up to get down. The next contender to sit ( a luxury in a Delhi bus) on the seat is normally the one standing next to it. He was a 20 something guy like me, looking to make a mark in this fast, competitive world. As he adjusted his bag to sit, a middle aged lady pushed her way through the small gap between the guy and the seat and at lightnin

The freedom of Indians have again been curbed by Maharashtra government by banning the movie Deshdrohi in Maharashtra. The state government on Wednesday banned the Hindi film `Deshdrohi', saying it would create a divide between north Indians and Marathis. Now this is what I call hypocrisy at its extreme. On one hand they divide the north Indians and Marathis and on the other they are banning a movie, claiming it could widen the rift. They let Raj Thackeray, the only Marathi Manus (Not an Indian) go scot free. Why didn't they ban him and his party for spreading violence in the state. Sometimes I feel it is very helpless with such people in power playing the dirty game. I could actually see how they played it when I saw one of their siblings (Rahul Mahajan) in the reality show Big Boss -2. The extent to which these un-ashamed politicians go is disgusting. Rohit Monserrate is another such example. People misusing power should be hanged till death. They give a bad name to the coun

Chandrayaan-1 has hit the home run. The Indian spacecraft, the 1st moon is now orbiting the poles of moon at an altitude of about 100 km. India has now made its presence felt at a distance of 3,84,000 km from the Earth (The distance of moon from earth). I was initially skeptical about the moon mission in terms of success, but the optimism and faith in India's talent kept my hopes alive and here it is, the grand show on an international platform of our determination, perseverance and talent. The lunar mission carries five ISRO payloads and six payloads from other international space agencies including NASA, ESA, and the Bulgarian Aerospace Agency, which were carried free of cost. This home run has made India victorious in the space age, but we still have a long way to go. On one hand we have highly qualified scientists, looking to explore moon and on the other is grim picture of riots, violence, poverty, crime and illiteracy, the last being the most important. This mission might h

I didn't watch any of the matches of Indian Cricket League, promoted by the Zee group as I feel it lacks the glamour quotient as present in IPL or international cricket. Its timing this year was another nail in its coffin as the cricketing greats chose to retire in this Border Gavaskar trophy and yes it was between the arch-rivals too. The reason could be many, but the result was a poor and hurted the media buyers. The ICL received a television rating (TVR) of 0.7% between 10th october and 1st november for a target group of males above the age of 15 years. It is quite low as compared to the TVR of IPL (The BCCI 20-20 tournament) received a TVR between 4-5. The media buyers and the organizers, both are puzzled because of the aberrant outcome of television viewrship, although the stadiums were jam packed.These reaction in HT Mint explain their worries. Joy Chakraborty, chief revenue officer, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd, a subsidiary of Essel, says he expected an average rating

The Australian coach Tim Nielsen backed Ricky Ponting for using his part time bowlers for pacing up the slow over rate. But the Australians atleast the media wasn't in a mood to oblige. Remember the 2005 Ashes? He clearly made an error by attempting to increase the over rate last night in Nagpur when he should have been using his best bowlers at a point in the match where the test could be won. Alan Border was dumbstruck and many former players have shaken their heads in amazement that he seemed more interested in avoiding a one match ban than winning the test. The country awaits Ponting’s response. The Australian November 10, 2008 Although there were words of praise for the debutant spinner Jason Krejza who wove magic(although costly) and almost spun the whole Indian side in the first innings of the fourth test at Nagpur. There were praises for the selectors and Ricky Ponting for bringing him at the right time, but the stones kept pelting on the rest of bowling attack. Here is an

The shoot is going on and so is the crow. So what do you infer from this line ? Its simple. A bunch of people with money and TRP's on their mind have paid some crows, do do what they are best at. I am talking of the news channels that peep into the whole world every time and every second and the so called trusted news cannot be trusted anymore. One of my friends argued over a point that Hindi news channels are good and comprehensive. My response, What Bull shit. My voice was dwarfed by 6 more people who spoke together with me. We all said that the way they sensationalize the news makes it seem like crap. They are sellign news like masala dosa on the streets. He unabashedly said that there is not enough news so they have to create it. I agreed with him, but there is no reason to fake. You can repeat the news too. India TV keeps on playing old repeat telecasts of Great Indian Laughter challenge and other comedy shows. Is this news ?? A created one ??? This is bloody crap. And oh, th

India wins border-Gavaskar trophy by 2-0, making this series a historic one.Anil Kumble and Sourav Ganguly's era of international cricket is over now and there would be a few others to follow, but the fact that India one in fair and square makes it even more sweet. It was a team effort throughout the series and almost all, except Rahul Dravid contributed in this new Indian side. The gesture of Mahendra Singh Dhoni to allow Anil Kumble to lift the cup was an act that again proves he has a sound head on his shoulders. The man of the series, Ishant Sharma, the 20 year old delhi tallie, makes it even more symbolic. On one hand the Golden greats of Indian cricket are departing and on the other hand the new guns are making a mark. I wanted Gautam Gambhir to win the man of the series award, and had he played in the last test, he would have surely got the award. This series was a touch unfavourable to the Aussies, in terms of luck. The Aussies only one the toss in the first match,the rest

Yesterday, one of my uncles passed away. One of those numerous persons of my large extended family, who was close to my father and grandfather, but an unknown figure to me. On asking my parents about the cause of his death, they said, he had massive heart attack and within minutes he was no more. As a old (not very old though) person he was leading a particularly healthy and happy life with both his children settled and doing well. The incident shook me. A person who is watching TV, enjoying his meal, playing with his grandchildren, suddenly feels suffocated with a pain near his heart. The next day his is lying motionless on logs of wood. This sudden untimely death of my uncle made me look deeper into the heart attack death cases. Our parents in a bid to make us healthy make us addicted to a high calorie diet, our lifestyles seldom makes us exercise and the bad habits accrue this process towards a classic heart attack case. I am particularly scared after this incident. One fine day, en

Sourav Ganguly went out for a golden duck in his last and final outing in international cricket. The tiger came virtually running in to pounce, when laxman was dismissed for 4 by krejza. The heroes in reality don't have a fairy tale ending and like most heroes the one who gave teeth to Indian aggression, was finally out to a debutant (Krejza), who vitually got the team out single handedly. While Anil's exit was as perfect as the man, Ganguly's exit had to be dramatic, on the edge, in your face, like the prince. Some of his fans were sad at his untimely dismissal and retirement, Well, its more a time to celebrate, than to feel sad. Lets enjoy the dawn of new and young Indian cricket.

Hole in the wall is a very experiment by Sugata Mitra in 1999. I read about this experiment, which showed the innovative capabilities of two kinds of people, the visionaries and the underprivileged. About Sugata Mitra Sugata Mitra has a PhD in physics and heads research efforts at New Delhi's NIIT, a fast-growing software and education company with sales of more than $200 million and a market cap over $2 billion. But Mitra's passion is computer-based education, specifically for India's poor. He believes that children, even terribly poor kids with little education, can quickly teach themselves the rudiments of computer literacy. The key, he contends, is for teachers and other adults to give them free rein, so their natural curiosity takes over and they teach themselves. He calls the concept "minimally invasive education." The Experiment He took a PC connected to a high-speed data connection and embedded

Brand India #2 : The story of Lijjat In the previous post of Brand India ( Brand India : Introduction ), I introduced the concept of the term, its origin and significance. Although Brand India is a relatively urban term, in this post, I'd like to share with you a very popular story of women empowerment, wisdom and the creation of a brand called " Lijjat ". It is a very awe inspiring story of the success of the Indian woman and true representation of Brand India, more than just IT. You all might once have had the tasty lijjat papad with your meal. The story behind it is even more relishing. Lijjat was the brain child of seven semi-literate Gujarati housewives from Bombay. They wanted to start a venture to create a sustainable livelihood using the only skill they had i.e. cooking.The women borrowed Rs 80 from Chaganlal Karamsi Parekh, a member of the Servants of India Society and a social worker.They took over a loss-making papad making venture by one Laxmidasbhai and boug

Blind Me A careless move, was enough to fool, The kindness of  an innocent silk, Out I stood on a cold frosty night, Dark it became, swift was the knife, Cut through as it ran past my eyes, Like a blessing it came to blind me, Like sleep she came to hide me. Little of sins I knew, before I thought, The ages made it grow before it took toll, Small it was and smaller it became, All remained exhaled smoke out of ruined city. The shattered remains still remind them, A city of hope, once stood there, Brimming with life, till came the captain, Crown and Beads with sins of past and greed, He stole all good and left thorns on streets. I walked, it pained, It was painful, Restored, thorns were removed, Remained were the stains of whom I loved. Grass began to grow, life was green, But the captain came again with same stained steel, With more along with him, Like a whore, he sold himself, to others, And now this silk is going, with him, Still tied I

Dear reader, Winters are just a few weeks away and the riskiest season of all, November is taking its toll, on me too. It gets hot in day and is quite cool at night, The perfect recipe for cold, cough and fever. Unfortunately,these three gods of ill-health have not shown their benevolence towards me and made me a captive in a bunker like blanket. I must say that this can take toll on my blogging too. If you don't see too many posts this season, it could because of the ill health or the laziness of winter. The latter wouldn't be much of a problem in terms of blogging, as it is normally is a high priority task of the day. Stay fit and enjoy this winter and if you stay in a tropical climate, then too just enjoy and keep reading, meanwhile i'll just take some rest. I like collecting such pictures. If you have some, mail it to me at sk.insync@yahoo dot com. Chao!

Experienced campaigner John McCain lost to the young and enigmatic Barack Hussein Obama in one of the history's most famous US presidential elections. This is more a victory of change, the change that Barack Obama stood for. Although it was said that Obama being less experienced would not be efficient in handling the White House, has come out with flying colours. First, it was the Barack-Hillary campaign and then the McCain-Obama campaign. Now that he has won, his crown of thorns will be handed over to him on Jannuary 20th 2009. It will be interesting to see Barack Obama's policies in a time of economic crisis, to ending war in Iraq and trying to upkeep the US health care system.

Chandrayaan gave India a giant leap in space exploration. ISRO launched chandrayaan, which would drop a probe onto the moon. This called in for a lot a accolades and gave our nation a sense of pride. With success comes the possibility of failure. This is precisely what has to kept in mind. The mission has just passed the initial phase. It has a long way to go and can fail in the process also. After the initial success, criticism and claims of failure have been launched by the Chinese media. An article published in the times of India, particularly mentions it. The articles question the contention of Indian Space Research Organization, which said that Chandrayaan had an apogee of 37,800km with an orbital period of 73 hours. The articles in the Chinese media state that the apogee was only around 16,400 km with an orbital tour of 11 hours...The headline common several of the pieces in different websites are: "Orbit not very normal; has India's Chandrayaan-1 run into problem?"

It has been said by many economists, visionary and this word is echoing through every corridor of India. "India and China will reshape the world". To be precise they'll(we) be world leaders. To join the league of those predicting this outcome is Rupert Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch, is an Australian-American global media mogul. He was recently quoted by the times of India as Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch says the ongoing metamorphosis of China and India from historic backwaters into economic powers will reshape the world in the next few decades. I am more concerned about India.I see his statement as both encouraging and discouraging. Some more words of praise for us and a reality check for us too. This can found when he says in the same article China and India are great countries whose people are only recently emerging from long histories of being "incarcerated by communism or caste." " Incarcerated by caste " . I've deliberately highlighted this phrase.

Green, Environment and Automobiles. The first two terms are the victims of the third one. Your powerful 1600 cc car may drive you at ego boosting speeds, but think again. Your power car costs you in excess of 5 lakhs or say around US $12,000, but is it the right choice ? The middle class mentality is to go for a big car. The upper class already has it and they want to be in the upper league. The power car may give you an average of around 12 km/litre. Now lets think small(rather big). How about the Nano. The general perception of people is that it is a car for the masses and they would rather go for a bigger car, maybe Alto or swift or an expanded swift. Looking at the bigger side of the small car, see a car consuming less fuel, polluting the environment much less than a muscle SUV. Thomas L. Friedman in his latest book Hot,Flat and Crowded has precisely and crisply mentioned the cost of growth that the environment has to pay and in the long run we'll pay. I was sad to see that Ta

The Indian spin wizard bid goodbye to Indian Cricket on the last day of the third test match between India and Australia of the Border Gavaskar trophy. It came as a shock for some and a pending decision for some, but it can be seen as the fading of one era of Indian cricket and the shining of a new era. The torch has been un-official handed to the new generation of young Indian cricketers. Words of praise could miss out all the achievements of this cricketers, so I'll just prefer to stay back and let others do it. I'd just like to appreciate his honesty for the game and the high standards he kept. When he felt, he wasn't delivering his best, he decided to call quits. For this series the baton has been passed to M S Dhoni and I am pretty sure he'll be taking on the test captaincy from now on. It could be Virendra Sehwag also. He'll be remembered for much more than the 619 valuable wickets he took for India, including the 10 wickets of pakistan cricket team at the ve

This was a really good chain mail I got and it discusses about the lessons you should learn(rather not) from Raj Thackeray. Thanks Nishu, for forwarding this email. We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more... We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas) Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only Relief for farmers in Mahar

Brand India is term we've heard quite a lot in the last few years. Its been there like a horn constantly reminding us of our reflection on the world. Its been mostly used for attracting business. I did some research on the subject and I'll be analyzing this term of Brand India, its past, current status, taking into account other spheres like agriculture, media, film, tourism,politics,teroorism and its effect on the common Indian in a series of posts. In this post I'd briefly like to introduce Brand India and the organizations behind it. Introduction Brand India is a phrase used to describe the campaign India is using to attract business. Basically the campaign is to project the attractiveness of India as an emerging destination for business in the fields of service sector, manufacturing, information technology, infrastructure, information technology enabled services, etc. Amongst the leading organizations working on building Brand India is India Brand Equity Foundation ( I
