I received this image from a friend. It just makes me feel proud. I am not sure if NASDAQ has featured the Indian Flag earlier but this time with the Indian economy growing strong this means a lot to many Indians living outside India.

The blogosphere has already started making comparisons between Shenzhen & Sriperumpudur here and in businessweek (requires free registration). Though India has a long way to become a manufacturing hub or an organized market, the next five years is going to see a very fast and interesting growth compared to the last 5 years.

At this moment, a good read would be Tom Friedman's - "The World is Flat". This is going to be the next book I am going to be reading.

I would like to know what others feel about the India growth, particularly Indians living outisde India.

The mesage at the bottom of the picture reads "NASDAQ decorated its headquarter with the tricolour flag as part of the the India's Independence Day celebrations. It was the biggest attraction in Times Square of New York on Tuesday".
