The Presentation from Club Member Rajinder Dhaliwal explained the importance of the business development that has occurred and continues to occur in the country of India.

As mentioned by Raj, India is part of a group of countries that is emerging to become more significant world-wide, which includes besides India, Brazil, Russia and China.

The educational system in India is producing students who are more advanced compared to the US.  A personal example, when Raj's daughter Amana came to the US she was way ahead of students for her age here. 

Another example cited by Raj is the fact that in California's Silicon Valley the technical industries employ a high percentage of employees who come from India and were educated in India.  Raj also cited the industries of the medical field and of NASA who employ a significant percentage of employees from India.

 Another fact stated by Raj: “the eight largest companies in America are run by Indians.”  Referring to people born and educated in the country of India.

 So now we see a trend of many aspiring young people going to India to study in order to help assure their success in technically demanding jobs.

Raj presented a number of comparisons relating to the business world.  Just to mention several herein:  as to the key statistic of economic comparison of GDP, Raj stated that the US is around 2% this year compared to 7% for India
