Its official! Indians have better entrepreneurial skills than Chinese

by Arun Prabhudesai

In a first of its kind survey conducted by US based executive search firm Korn/Ferry, it is found that Indians have far better entrepreneurial skills than their Chinese counterparts.

I am sure that many will not be surprised by this survey given the way Indian entrepreneurs are going about doing their business. A brief look at the recent mergers and acquisitions will give you a glimpse of what Indian entrepreneurs are capable of. Although, far behind North American counterparts, Indian entrepreneurs fare better than our chinese neighbors.

The survey concluded that Indian entrepreneurs have strong language skills and live in a society that encourages entrepreneurship. This was cited as one of the many reasons why Indians move up and occupy top positions in nations across the world.

Not only that, Indian corporations currently loaded with excess cash are on acquisitions spree. I have earlier written about how hot the scenario was last year, but 2007 seems to have already reached that mark in less than 6 months.
ICICI bank’s private research division has come out with a Global Investment Outlook report, which says the total equity deals struck by Indian companies have crossed 50 billion USD in 2007. In the same timeframe last year the equity deals stood at 13.5 billion USD.
