March 6, 2006 issue - I recently got a call from a board member of one
of the world's largest consulting companies, who invited me to speak to
them about why so many Indians were succeeding in the global-knowledge
economy. He mentioned innovations emerging from GE and Microsoft's R&D
centers in Bangalore; advanced avionics installed by India's Air Force
on Russian fighter aircraft, and sophisticated research on global
capital markets outsourced by Wall Street to India. Finally, he rattled
off the names of a dozen Indian leaders of multinational corporations.
