Ein Netbuch für Indien

Wie gut lassen sich Netbooks und günstige Notebooks eigentlich auf dem indischen Markt verkaufen? Vermutlich gibt es vor allem im ländlichen Bereich viele Regionen mit unzuverläßiger Stromversorgung, da müßten sich Netbooks und Billig-Notebooks doch hervorragend verkaufen lassen.

ich frag mich aber echt mal warum die Hersteller immer diese Namen mit Zahlen nehmen (also nicht logische Bezeichnungenn mit Namen und Nummern sondern sowas wie “N101-WC1100″) das kann sich doch keiner merken und das ist in jedem Fall schlecht fürs Geschäft

und da wäre sogar ein schlechter Name besser als gar keiner

just my 2 cents =)

I do not why people think that India is full of rural areas and has unreliable power supply. Indians are infact very rich. Out of 100 crore population, atleast 75% are earning pretty good and out of them, atleast 15% are filthy rich and that’s a lot of people.

May be if you go 10 years back, India’s condition was not so good, but now, Indians are considered as one of the biggest spenders in the world. I would say films like Slumdog are to be blamed as they have portrayed only severely poor areas and that too deliberately. They never cared to show the rich and advanced areas of India. Pathetic stuff indeed.

i hope i am not offending you but i’ve been to Bangalore last year for 3 months and it’s a catastrophy. Power went out every day for hours, the suburbs were just slums, the work ethic of the people was good but 90% of them were absolutely inefficient.
India is an emerging market but they have still at least a century ahead of them before they are getting on the western level.
Sorry to tell you that more than 90% of the indian citizen are poor like hell. I dunno who told you that 75% are earning good and 15% are rich.
The GPD per capita is $2.700! Not a month but in a year:

Sorry to let you know but this is the situation.

Not all cities are same. I’ve been to US, not only US cities are like NYC. Never been to Bangalore, but come to New Delhi some day which is the capital of India and you will see what I am talking about.

Regarding those stats, it is a known fact that most of the Indians do not tell/expose their real income due to the very strict income tax laws which can a lot of your revenue if you tell them the reality. I find it funny in that webpage where they say $2700 because that is what even the millionaire will say when you will ask them about their income/year.

Only China and India are the countries that are least affected from the global economic downturn. Reason: The consumption internally is so high and people spend so much to keep the companies rolling

Oh i agree, that you can’t make a general judgement by just visiting one city, especially cause Bangalore is Indias’ Silicon Valley. After checking out Calcutta for 2 days i know that it can be completely different. Most of indias’ citizens are living in poverty and that’s a fact we can’t deny. I am not talking about what Indian taxpayers are telling the tax agency, we are looking at the overall Gross Domestic Product of the country divided by it’s citizens.
Something you can’t fake at all.

You know why China and India are not affected so heavily? Cause consume just started over there a couple of years ago. The growth of its’ GDP in the past proves this and of course an emerging country isn’t affected so heavily by global economy crisis.

btw. Indias’ GDP growth in 2008 was less than the one of belgium:

and it’s overall GDP is behind Canada even though Canada has only a 50th of Indias’ citizens:

Believe me, some part of New Delhi are not India at all. India is on the rise but still has some decades to go
