Interesting stats from Reuben Abraham • China has about $1 trillion in personal savings and a savings rate of close to 50%. The U.S. has about $158 billion in personal savings and an average savings rate of only about 2%. • Shanghai boasts 4,000 skyscrapers — double the number in New York City.

I have faced their likes on IRMA's group also and although I find such thoughts immature, fundamentalist with no respect for Diversity. Read more
This is to ALL those who argued that Indian businesses will be quashed by International competition! World's most profitable carmaker Toyota Motor Corp on Monday acknowledged the rising quality consciousness in Indian manufacturing. Toyota said Japanese companies could soon be playing catch-up in quality sweepstakes. Toyota Chairman Okuda Hiroshi said Indian and Thai companies were the strongest contenders for the Deming Prize, somewhat akin to the Oscars in manufacturing quality instituted by Union of Japanese Scientists & Engineers.
