This is a primer for understanding what’s to come in the global economy. A valuable read for government leaders, agencies, and NGOs. Although old (2009), it is somewhat outdated because of several geopolitical events since then.

Ok book giving good overview of these two regions, however the content is getting dated and most of this is a given at this point since it was written in 2009 and much has changed since then

For anyone with a business interest in China or India, this is a great book. Getting China and India Right resonates because getting China and India wrong is easy and common. Both of these markets offer immense potential for expansion, cost-cutting, and innovation, but like most opportunities, success requires iteration, patience, and willingness to discard stale paradigms in favor of current realities. The author convincingly argues that while China and India have daunting differences, the similarities are sufficient to provide synergy. Gupta further argues that leaving one or both of these future economic world leaders out of any business strategy seals a firm's fate as second tier. Each have exceptional resourcing strengths and both offer massive market potential. Ignoring these is a competitive disadvantage.

listened to it in audiobook.

- india is ?? years behind china
- india has some advantages such as english skills

In later part, the author mentioned the education system in asian countries, that they put stress on route memorization. -- maybe so.
In developed countries, education focuses on communication??, problem solving, and such things. -- want to know more about it.

If you're going to do business in either of these countries this a good read, but it shouldn't be your only read. A good introduction, perhaps.
