Hmmm, can it really be true that Singapore (population 5e6) has a larger market than India (pop 1e9), even given the huge per-capita GDP difference?
I agree with the thrust of your point (and everything about FDI), but would be useful to look at the income distribution in India to see if your ballpark estimate is correct.
- atishbabu 16y agoi concede your point in that my analysis is far from rigorous my brief sample is walking around singapore you see many more people on a percentage basis with iphones in their hands and you go to coffee bean and tea leaf in singapore and you see that of those with computers out many more have MACs than their peer group in India at coffee shops with their laptops out - i am the first to say this is not the most rigorous argument
