 Startup India Flips Out Over
E-commerce
India's startup scene reminds me more and more of China six years ago.
I'm on the India trail, meeting with venture investors doing deals at a frantic pace and dynamic entrepreneurs vying to make their startups catch on in fast-growing but increasingly crowded makrets with huge potential.
Take the booming area of e-commerce as an example. One e-commerce startup on my radar is Myntra, an online retailer of fashion and lifestyle brands that was founded by Mukesh Bansal (see photo I snapped of him in Bangalore.)

The only other tech market in Asia that is halfway as exciting as China is India. It has the promise to close the gap with China but is no match yet. India's mobile market is large, venture spending is vibrant, and high-profile IPOs such as MakeMyTrip are happening, with more on the way. See halfway, at Silicon Asia in Forbes. | |

Raffles, Starbucks, Big Macs Make It In China,
But Not India
A look at the hotel business in China and India can tell a lot about the rising dragon and tiger nations. In China, there's no shortage of brand-name hotels known in the western world. But in India, most are distinctly Indian.That's not to say that Taj and others aren't expanding outside their home country.
