I always wondered why India despite having these Indian born and raised folks helming International MNCS of stature never built a World class company of its own. In the last 30 years, nearly all the ex-communist countries and 3rd world countries have progressed much faster than India. China was way behind India until the 80s. Compare their Railways, the Navies, city infrastructure, etc before the 80s and now. I also don't see anyone that comes close to entrepreneurs like those in China, Taiwan, Korea etc. Lets not even talk about Japan.

And I don't think I ever seen any products from India on sale here except for food items.

It takes forever to do anything significant in India. They take years to discuss issues and lose yet more years to red tape. Talk about their infrastructure, if their building had a significant defect it would take ages to rectify it. It would be far easier for them to demolish the building than to do the necessary repairs.

Their colleges and universities are far ahead of the country.

Gahmen bureaucracy is a problem. Plus indian judges tend to side with local business interest who are mostly prominent families.

Indian food are way tastier than chinese food. But because most indians are vegetarian, you do not get to see them as much as chinese food.

Us? Scrooballs all because it fills you with pride doesn't mean everyone else feels proud. Don't speak on behalf of the rest of us. Just speak for you and your clones.

Also stop living off the accomplishments of others.

CEO of established companies is called massive contributions to the world? Any notable inventions under their leadership? Yes they are successful people but not massive contributions to the world.

What else but excessive business regulation and high level of corruption. They may have liberalise their economy but it not liberalize enough for conducive growth.

They also have poor business practices like not keeping receipts and slow in getting things done. I still can remember the time when it was nearing 2010 commonwealth games, they still have problem completing the infrastructure which is probably due to their taiji culture that some local sinkies can attest.

Indian often feel high and almighty that they achieve so much when they are overseas but they can only succeed in an environment run by ang mohs or a western style of governance where the equality of man and meritocracy is valued.

Indian tend to succeed better than other Asian minorities in western societies because their culture is simply more assertive which is perfect for western style office politics that tend to favor to those that speak out more.

A lot of indians are taught from young to bargain or get the best deal which make them master at negotiations. Which is why there are so many Indian lawyers and in Canada, there are a significant amount of Indian politicians.

Of course there is a downside to this. They tend to over inflate their achievements and over promised things. Local sinkies in IT industry can attest to this.

Wow, I thought your post summarised it very well.

Many years ago, a couple of GLC captains including Jennie Chua went on an exploratory mission to India and this was a follow-up to GCT doing his Indian forays. They all came back with no appetite. Dhanabalan when he retired from politics was roped in to help bid for Airport development opportunities and it was waste of time. In the end it was working with lower rungs that yielded some marginal wins.

It is no just Singapore. Australian Trade delegation to India where the accompanying businessmen secured multiple orders only to be cancelled after their return when the Indians did not want to follow international practice for shipping and use of LCs. And as they speak and write English very well it was not a question of communications.

They are the one that bandit with British empire to grow opium to market to the China. They committed treason to swipe out the fortune of Qing dynasty.

Also their are so stupid enough that they were wipe out by their cohort in crime opium traders British Empire and was colonised later.
