Canada Offers Green tech to India - Will Any Indian Businesses Bite?
I know that the USA has a singularly bad record of doing business with India especially in the field of Green technologies despite the US Exim Bank offering vast amounts of money to Indian businesses that would like to license the immense amount of technology that American companies have developed. Many American companies couldn;t care less what happened in a neighboring county, leave aside what happens outside their state. with that attitude, they are unlikely to bother about India. And it is the same in India despite the US Exim Bank offering loans denominated in rupees in India through several major Indian banks.
Now Canada, the USA's smaller but extremely aggressive neighbor, has stepped in and is trying to offer green tech to India. Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty, a man who I personally think is as sleazy as politicians can get, but more of that later, is in India at the moment along with a delegation of Ontario businesses offering the latest in Canadian tech to Indian businesses according to this article in The Hindu: http://www.hindu.com/2009/12/04/stories/2009120456371800.htm
Canada does have some phenomenally good companies offering a wide range of technologies with applications that could make a huge difference if Indian businesses were to adopt them. I love Toronto as a city and am always amazed by the energy that it displays. I do wish that the province of Ontario would dump McGuinty, but then I don't like most politicians and he is not the only one I would like to see dumped by the electorate. As my grandmother, the great Savitaben Kamdar used to remind me when I was a boy, even dead snakes have their uses. I am happy to confer the status of a useful "snake" on Mc Guinty, as he has done something that culd be useful both for Canadian as well as Indian businesses.
