India: A Dominant Player
I think the core competency of India is in services and I believe there is a huge run left for the next generation services companies from India. Because of the raw investment that the likes of Infosys and Wipros have made in creating a huge pool of talent, India has an edge. According to me the next generation services are those which require vertical domain expertise, like expertise in areas of health care, insurance, banking, telecom, etc. Companies which have a sharp focus and have domain knowledge of these areas will do extremely well.
I think that India should dominate and focus on very few areas of its strength. Like Taiwan has dominated the PC industry. Every PC in the world has something manufactured in Taiwan. Similarly, India could become a very dominant player in three sectors, namely - telecom, genetic engineering and micro-electronics. In telecom networking solutions India is already going ahead in a big way. India has the right skills for data-warehousing and data-mining in a big way. Lastly, micro-electronics - I am talking of things like video compression, video streaming, etc. These have a great future and Indians can, with their programming skills become dominant in these sectors.

Second Inning...
The Indo-American community has been recognized for its professional and financial success in this country. We want to build on that success and make our later life equally rewarding, comfortable and noteworthy. As tall as this order might seem, I invite you to accept the challenge.
It's natural to be anxious about life in retirement. It brings uncertainties. New questions. Perhaps more so for Indo-Americans who have to balance their dual cultural background and ambitions.
What will I do after I retire? Where would I like to live? What life style will suit me? How much will it cost? Can I afford it? How can I remain healthy? How do I protect my assets? What will the Government programs do for me in my senior years? What will I do when I am alone? How are my peers dealing with such questions?Surveys have shown that many people believe that life is at its very best between the ages of 60 and 75 or so, when you are still healthy, have knowledge about yourself and the world, and are resourceful.
Perhaps more important, you are now relatively free of the responsibilities of raising the family, and can pursue your own true passion...
