As is typical of non-resident Indians, you are woefully out of touch
with reality. "Systems Analyst at Infosys Technologies" is old hat. Om
would be far more likely to make the "neolib blotter of India Shining
moments" (whatever that might be) if he founded a start-up in, say,
Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, that created a world-class product that people
in, say, Nashville, Tennessee, bought not because it was cheaper than
equivalent local products but better than what they could buy locally.
