Having been in the US, I understand your frustration. I would rather have process innovation than product innovation. When I was in the US, I could not afford a mobile or landline or car. But the roads were good, crime was low, I had hot water, heating, good infrastructure, no hassle with bills, no power, waster cuts whatsoever and so on. If I had to make choices between owning products that are taken for granted in India now and process innovation, I'd take the latter in a heartbeat. As for hdfc credit card, not sure why but I got one eventhough I barely maintain the min. balance in my bank account(most of it is in the brokerage acct.) And as for getting statements, I have 7 years of statements available to me online from wells fargo. At hdfc, it's about 18 months or so. HDFC could do the same too. Would have saved you and your friend a lot of time. Excellent post. Having been in the US, I understand your frustration. I would rather have process innovation than product innovation.

Very apt, and to the point. And I am experiencing it too. Looking out eagerly for the follow up on inducing process innovation. A colleague of mine used to wonder why the US industry big wigs spent time trying to articulate "vision". Now he is wiser! Are we so much stuck with "immediate returns" that "ideas" are an "indulgence"? Cool writeup. Beautiful. Very apt, and to the point. And I am experiencing it too.

This is how India works. It is same rich, poor private and public companies. It can be better in private companies but they can give you the worst surprises. It makes me wonder how the hell will ever things change. Common sense is devoid in India and I see this in my work place and in my surroundings. Welcome to India Antanu.
