The mention of Flipkart was for parents argument that Indians don't want to pay for anything and would pirate things it they can. Flipkart sells books and music successfully which a lot of people here don't seem to be willing to pay for.
>>The fact that Indian consumers have woken up so late to it re-emphasizes that Indians resist technological intervention
Maybe I see things wrong but I don't think Indians resist technology. Its that the technology got here late. Also, its just that it is a different market and different factors at play here.
- movingahead 15y agoI know this is early days for Flipkart's music service, but are there any numbers available on how customers have responded to it.

- pm90 15y agoYeah I found that statement a bit weird too. I think Indians are wary of being cheated (which is a legitimate fear, I must add) which is why the adoption of new technology is a lot slower than in a high-trust western society.
