I think in future this will gain momentum. We had one of my co-workers attend this event and he was super happy with the experience. But if you think of it you are flying 1000s of people all over the global, hotel, cabs .... way too much mo

Lot of areas in north eastern parts of India does not have any big infrastructure and dams for water storage because they heavily relied on water coming from Himalayan glaciers. In future if Indian government does not do big projects to dev

Most likely they will move to some country around China so its still easy for them to move stuff and raw materials around. They can also move the production to India a place where they always struggled to sell the phone.

With water levels going up and climate change patterns, I find it counter intuitive that lot of luxury/premium properties are built close of water. This not only results into higher insurance rates on these properties but in-case of an
