Foreign Investment in India
| |
| At present, India's GDP is USD 1.237 trillion, which makes it the twelfth-largest economy in the world at market exchange rates and fourth largest in purchasing power. In the late 2000s, India's economic growth has averaged at about 7.5% a year. A 2007 Goldman Sachs report has projected that "from 2007 to 2020, India's GDP per capita will quadruple, and the same will surpass the GDP of the United States of America before 2050." The country managed a reasonable economic growth of 6.1% during the first quarter of the current fiscal (2009) despite the global financial crisis. India's annual GDP growth is likely to accelerate to 7.2% in the next fiscal and further accelerate until reaching a pace of about 9% in the year 2012-2013. India is the seventh-largest country in terms of geographical area, the second-most populous country. |

You Are Not Amazon
| |
| Amazon.com moves a lot of product. It processes 24 orders every second. Its 76 million (and counting) unique visitors would make it the world's 17th-largest country, if it were a country. And just about every person I have ever interviewed for a usability study has mentioned using it. This success doesn't mean that it's always smart to copy from Amazon. It's still necessary to think critically about your content, audience, and goals before implementing any feature from another website, even proven leaders. |
