Firms Invest $1.4B in India
Private equity and venture capital firms invested about $1.4 billion in 69 Indian companies during the quarter ended March 2006, according to a study released Monday.
every time i see news like this, it just gets under my skin. i don't know what it is but i think i am on my way to taking this on a personal level. okay. i admit. india has good, if not brilliant developers. i quit my previous job, which pays higher than what i am getting right now (well since i just started) primarily because this is what i love doing - and to have encountered this opportunity the second time would be like throwing my dreams away...
underneath my personal motive is i believe and i am in love in what my new company is doing. and my passion for our work is fueled by this drive to encourage and provide opportunities to our IT people and companies (i think i am giving up on the government institution in charge of IT development) because i see their or rather our IT sector's potential in taking the lead away from india.
do not get me wrong here. i am not being discriminating or something but we have brains, for santa's sake, we learn fast, we adapt easily, in fact we have proven that with our call center industry.
guys, come on! but i am happy to see that we are moving forward, albeit a little slow (or maybe because i just entered the industry recently). during one of our nightouts with my girlfriends in makati last week (or the other week) i met this indian who owns a bpo company here. and guess what company is that? call center!!! and i was like this close to swearing! what is happening??? do we just let indians come here and set up business for their spillovers? since according to him they have lots of clients they cannot handle it there anymore. he is also in fact hiring some developers. how would you feel about that? papayag na lang ba tayo na tapunan ng tira tira???
exhale.....
i m sorry... i just couldn't stop myself... we have all the capabilities... if its resources we lack, let's pool our resources and move ahead towards our goal as one... which is to develop and enhance our ICT/IT industry...
why are we just waiting for extras to be thrown our way? why do we wait until a technology becomes profitable then we follow and do the same?
WHY CANT WE MOVE FORWARD ON OUR OWN AND GO WITH OUR GUT INSTINCT? we are planning a national event for this... ill keep you guys posted...
it's time we take back what our government has thrown away before - we were the tiger economy back then, remember? - and show the world our resilience...
