WHAT’S NEEDED NOW IS STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION
My view is that one should add ‘Governance Mode to it’.
GOVERNANCE BY DECREE
GOVERNANCE BY
CONSENSUS

SO WHERE ARE THE ACCOMPLISHMENT STORIES IN INDIA?
Hope springs eternal: RELATIVELY FREE-MEDIA: 360 independent television
stations in India. THE POPULATION JUGGERNAUT: In 2010, the Indian Labor
Report estimated that in the next 5 years, 25% of the world’s new workers will be Indian.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUN-RISE INDUSTRIES SOCIAL-LEADERS INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM: IITs & IIMs (more needs to
be done though).

SUNRISE INDUSTRIES E-COMMERCE (in all sorts of areas) BIOTECHNOLOGY (Especially medical devices) MANUFACTURING Related areas INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS for India's growing cities LOW COST SOLUTIONS FOR INDIA & WORLD’S POOR (in
Health/Sanitation/Electricity/Transportation/Education) Strong Need to Harness Innovativeness of GLOBAL INDIAN
DIASPORA. I think INDIA HAS MISSED THE BUS for software products &
it’s a waste of time/energy to invest/retrain in comparative advantage in the same.
20
SO WHAT HAVE WE DONE SO FAR Low-Hanging Fruits won’t be enough.
That India needs Structural Transformation
That there are sub-national heterogeneities and institutional voids that needs to be ameliorated.
That hope springs eternal from: relatively free media. young labor-force entrepreneurship sun-rise industries.

AMAZON IN INDIA – MINI-CASE DISCUSSION
My key lessons there would be: India is a tricky market, almost like a SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY, no harm in
PROTOTYPING BEFORE FULL-BLOWN ENTRY in this kind of a market. You can be a SECOND OR A THIRD MOVER IN INDIA AND CAN STILL BE
SUCCESSFUL with the strength of your complementary assets. India needs INDIAN SOLUTIONS to solve its market-puzzles. Look at how Amazon is
introducing delivery-innovations. Reminds you of 7/11 in Japan there? Or cash-on-delivery. Some Indian solutions could be SCALABLE TO EMERGING-MARKETS more broadly,
so sometimes it might be wise not to ignore this laboratory, what succeeded in India could potentially also succeed in Brazil too!
India could also be a RIPE MARKET FOR ACQUISITIONS – but be CAREFUL ABOUT VALUATIONS of firms, there has been a few sour examples recently as we all know.
Finally, there is a TON OF HETEROGENEITY, ON THE REGIONAL, CUSTOMER AND CONSUMER SIDE – which each firm needs to either needs to creatively solve or do something about bringing homogeneity in the markets.
