How do you expect it to happen?

Perhaps the issue isn't just about taxes and facilities, but also about our expectations and standards. Are we comparing ourselves to unrealistic benchmarks or seeking incremental improvements?

Except a few brands like Tata and some startups like Browserstack etc, there's no other global brands because :

  1. Jugaad and chalta hai attitude of businesses.

  2. Trading / Thelawala mentality like Reliance, Birla etc.

  3. No Risk Taking workforce and no support from government.

  4. Last but not the least, Patient Capital, Patient Employees and lack of dignity of labour.

In a nutshell , for India to Surpass or catch up to US China , this country needs to have.

  1. Risk taking mentality
  2. Support of government
  3. Lenient Capital
  4. Importance of Education and Dignity of labour
  5. Last but not the least, proper incentives for taking risk.

India lacks global brands due to low investment in education (~2.9% of GDP) and skill development (0.08% of the budget), fostering a ‘survival’ over ‘think big’ mentality that stifles innovation and global competitiveness.
