How European entrepreneurs could partner & benefit
Today India is one of the most dynamic destinations for entrepreneurship globally. From the first boom of software outsourcing since the late nineties, in the last two to three years India has emerged to a vibrant hub for start-ups, especially in the space of web- & mobile technologies.
India offers some of the best talents in software development and Indians are well known for their natural sense of business. This first generation of Indian tech entrepreneurs tab the booming domestic market, but also started targeting global markets with their products.
