India’s inflation deters foreign investors

They are making parts of software products for others. Can you simply name 1 completely indigenous functional Indian software product, such as a search engine, antivirus, game, messenger system, video sharing site? or scientific software such as aerospace simulators, molecular modeling, CAD, control systems?

Give up guys,he can go on and on with his trolls.Check out his recent posts and you ll come to know yourself.Ignore the irritated soul.

Indian s/w industry is not going after $40 softwares, rather $40m enterprise grade softwares.

But as Bombenstrum pointed out... we do have in house versions of these softwares who btw are competing in the market with western developed s/w products.

can you name a 40 million dollar software? those are things like database software, server software, telecom software, numerical modeling, CAD, control systems, etc.

The solution therefore is to divide India into 2 entities: the western high development states, and the African level other states. Only by separating the market in India can it develop.

Don't cry a river when I make similar predictions about China.

Customized software system solutions, backplane systems, global cloud based computing solutions, etc.... not open market softwares which sell on CDs.

India needs to start issuing treasuries at the state level, so we can know the credit ratings of different states. I think Indian states have huge disparities and southern and western states maybe attractive for investments. I think India needs to present India at the States level to the investor community. Inflation in certain states might not be all that high and the markets maybe better developed in such states to handle inflation. By presenting federal level stats, India is not doing justice to these better managed states. And actually may end up deterring investments as everyone will think that Indian states are uniform in their economy, which they are not. If the southern and western states were a separate financial entity, India would see two times the FDI go to these states alone from the current levels. They have a good growth story. And because of culture, language, food etc, people's movement between Indian states is minimal. So, India must be considered at the States' level for investment. Your federal government maybe holding everyone back. And, that is unfortunate for these better developing states and their peoples.

You bring up a good point here, but the investments are being attracted by individual states, take the example of Gujarat and Orissa where multi billion dollar investments are being pumped in by investors (both local and FDI). The market outlook of India has undoubtedly taken a beating, but I think this is a very small % of the actual money being invested. We are talking about less than a $1B here, whereas the investment in the industrial sectors is in the tune of multi-billion dollars.

Yes there are bad apples in any country in terms of investment opportunities, but I still believe that the ratio is very small. Inflation is a worry because it directly affects the domestic consumption, but when you are considering export oriented industrial investment, it is much less of a worry compared to domestic consumption oriented industries.

I'm not an expert in those types of software, the most valuable software I've used are control softwares for machine tools and molecular modelers. Those software seem to be more business management oriented than scientific and industrial softwares.

You clearly seem to have confused a custom software development costs ,with price of a product.

Even so,i not sure if any company has spent so much on a software.

There are no such expensive compact softwares (not assembled/integrated),and there is no one foolish enough to buy them

Here is breakdown of software products,of each field,i can't make it any simpler than this.

If you tell the name of that software,maybe we can have the list of vendors.

Thats correct.. most are business oriented and banking softwares and thats where the strength of the Indian s/w industry lies. We all have our own niche markets, Chinese make some good personal use software, good for their markets, India on the other hand makes system level solutions for companies within India and clients around the world.

So rather than giving a blanket statement about the value of our software industry, you should take these factors into consideration before making a comment.

India’s wholesale price index, the country’s main inflation indicator, rose to 8.43 per cent year on year in December.

Why is the inflation rate so high?

Yes, fast growth does lead to inflation, but China is growing fast as well (faster actually)... yet our official inflation rate for the year 2010 was 3.3%.

Inflation is the biggest threat to developing economies.

awesome,so many products,in almost every field,even I dont know that we have such a big line up.

And I think this is in addition to the products we customize for required customers,ranging from Microsoft to dell to NASA.

china's number is suspected to be fudged , and manipulated just like your currency. an example of why the world laughs at those numbers for being fudged - one has to look at the home prices.

BBC News - China's economy grew 10.3% in 2010

And Unofficially it is 5%..but growth is not the only reason for inflation, mind you Pakistan has 2% growth and 15% inflation.
