Jim, Indian economy is not only for eqty investors

If we look at the world economic crisis, Indian economy is better because of reforms done by NaMo Govt AND the continuous tracking and actions by RBI Governor.
Indian economy is not for eqty investor.

There is a limit to sychophancy. Indian economy is strong because Indians believe in saving and not spending completely. Despite of slowdown in World, Indian economy servived because of policies of last 10 years of UPA govt

Ignore Jim Rogers, hear Chadrasekhar Ghosh !

Jim Rogers' comments nor his net worth deserve any real mention in a leading site like this one !
He is just a broker who got lucky in Singapore. It is ridiculous that our political parties and followers are allowing a fight to be setup between themselves by these kind of characters.

I would rather hear the Indian entrepreneurs inside and outside India and probably a Chinese to see what is needed to give the business growth a nudge. No one believes GST, etc. will do the trick, though it might ease the tax calculations and get the miserable and depressing litigations out of your way.

By the way, the real solutions in India will come from folks like Chandrasekhar Ghosh of Bandhan Bank. That is the business model which is compatible with the economy and per capita of the people.
Which by the way, isn't very different from the way Narayana Murthy built Infosys, processes and people working in a focused manner.

In both cases, they were out of the reach of the bureaucrats and their licenses ! The moment you see either of them, your interest in doing business evaporates.

That is why e-commerce took off, fortunately before the guys could notice...or I would submit it had Manmohan Singh's Govt. benign, though some of his political opponents backed by small-time traders and shylocks hate him for that!

Change is visible

The offices of different ministeries have changed. Touts and brokers and retired bureaucrats representing companies no longer haggle around corridors greasing the palms of the staff there and getting confidential information and asking for favours.

Slow Steady and long term

Modi is doing great. Lot of information that I am getting from my friends in bureaucracy are talking about the hugely positive things happening. For last so many years policies were laid, rules framed and babus appointed but none of the appointees knew exactly how they should go about their job. Modi is slowly changing all that. He is fixing accountability. Without doing this implementing any new reform is not going to help and it will go the way of the many initiatives that failed during implementation stage. What does Jim Rogers know of running Governments? Nothing

For these congress stooges sky is the only limit for expectations.India can not open its gates which was closed for 60 years immediately for global investors.With Rajya sabha blocking everything and Loka Sabha functioning below normal what Modi can do.It is not one man's job.Jim has to wait till NDA gets majority in Rajya Sabha.

how little Modi has done
by vinod jaiswal on Sep 14, 2015 06:12 PM

To day India is like a person standing on the edge of dangerous jungle. Modi has sold people the dream of a wonderful world on the other side of the jungle but sad Mr Modi along all his countrymen has gone lost in the jungle and can not find a way out. Instead looking for a compass in the regressive RSS let him be bold and seek his compass in world class renowned economists like Dr Manmohan Singh, Amartya Sen and others.

Too much expectations, too soon ??
by Common Man on Sep 14, 2015 11:28 AM  | Hide replies

People are expecting a lot from Modi and quickly.

Congress has made things worse for investors and industry in the last 10 yrs. Damage can be done in a moment but recovery needs ages.

Modi is on the right track, attracting foreign investment, encouraging industry and open to ideas. Things are far better now compared to 2012-13.

Couple of more years and we will start seeing the results.
