I did. but that's off topic. This thread is about hardware and that you guys have the audacity to laugh at a far superior country in that regard.

I never heard of anything about begging India to take over our assets or bailing out the Eurozone. You guys have merely 300 billion FX, that's a bit more than the GDP of my city of less than 2 million people.

We already bought out Jaguar motors and British steal. Europe is broke as a joke try to save the Euro and dont worry about India

He was referring to something else.

Asia Times Online - The best news coverage from South Asia


Indian firms took over more than 75 international companies last year. Among the most-publicized deals, Tata Motors, part of Tata Group, India's oldest industrial conglomerate, bought South Korean company Daewoo's truck plant in that country. Reliance Infocomm, belonging to India's largest privately held business house, Reliance Group, took over Flag International, a major telecom network, for US$211 million. The deal gives Reliance access to 50,000 kilometers of fiber optic network worldwide. Software giant Wipro Ltd has acquired US-based consulting company Nerve Wire for $18.7 million even as its contemporary, Infosys Technologies, snapped up Australian software firm Expert Information Services Pty Ltd for $23 million.

US and European companies are there to be taken over by Asia its already happening.

In the UK alone, Indian firms have about 440 investments/joint ventures, with India being the eighth largest investor. Last year, the top 92 Indian-American owned companies in the US generated business of $2.2 billion and provided full time employment to about 19,000 in 2002. There are 1,441 Indian companies operating in Singapore. Of these more than 450 are technology enterprises.

Having ventured abroad, some Indian companies are already leaders in their fields. Essel Propack is the world's largest laminated tube manufacturer with a presence in 11 countries and a global marketing share of 25%. Moser Baer is the world's second largest manufacturer of blank compact discs. Hindustan Inks has the world's largest single stream fully integrated ink plant of 100,000 tons per annum capacity and 100%-owned subsidiaries in the US and Austria. Aditya Birla Group is the world's largest producer of viscose staple fiber.

A spin-off of Indian companies taking the acquisition route for further growth is the trend of other corporates setting up greenfield ventures abroad. Mahindra & Mahindra is producing 10,000 tractors annually at its US subsidiary. The automotive giant is now planning similar forays in Indonesia, China, Russia and South Africa. Electrosteel Castings is setting up a finishing facility for ductile iron pipes in Spain with a capacity of 175,000 tons per annum. Hindustan Seals, manufacturer of roll on pilfer-proof closures and crown closures, is setting up manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka, Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania and Russia. Finally, Oswal Projects is commissioning an ammonia project in West Australia with an investment of $630 million.

With economic liberalization having paved the path to prosperity, Indian companies are better equipped to take advantage of new opportunities. Many of them are sitting on piles of cash thrown up by profitable local ventures. Add to this the erosion in the values of international companies due to an ongoing global recession. More Indian companies can therefore be expected to snap up their foreign competitors in the months to come.



One good thing about the broke Europeans is their countries are easy for the Indian take away

Thats exactly what I implied. Chinese Quality is often referred as cheap and non reliable because they do not practice standard manufacturing practices. The only way they compete in the market is because they are cheap and they do that by not doing any qualit checks, thus, saving money.

Quality testing indeed is a cost factor but yeah I'm not surprised that you didn't know that.

i really pity indians extreme ignorance and ability to stay on the topic. the costs occurring during quality checks are never the major contributor to the final price.

what you pay is what you get, if you are cheap (as most indians are) you get cheap quality. but those people prefer quality over cost will always end up using good quality stuffs which are also made in China.

and the sad fact is that the primitive india is still miles away to have a strong hold on cheap low-end consumer goods yet, but laughing at the world No.1 high tech exporter china..it really amuse people the level of insecurity Indians have

While China’s resource-based exports did comprise a larger share of the world market in 2008 than in 1985, rising from 0.8% to 3.5%, resource-based exports declined sharply as a percentage of China’s total manufacturing exports over this period, plunging from 38.9% to 8.5%. China has even made significant progress in the export of services, which has increased on average by 18.6% per year since 1985.

India’s manufactured exports have also increased since 1985, although not nearly as much in terms of global market share as China (less than 2% vs. 11%). On the other hand, Indian exports are increasingly led by more-sophisticated, skill-intensive services such as IT, business process outsourcing, and financial services (Kowalski 2010). In each of these areas, Indian exporters account for more than 4% of the global market, compared with China’s share of less than 2%.
