'It is very hard to replace Bill Gates'

January 22, 2009

Which is your biggest market? Is it the US, or because MSIDC is situated in India, is India your target?

Our primary focus is to develop products for the entire world. We started MSIDC 10 years ago primarily because talent was available in India. Local market was not a consideration at all then. As we established ourselves, we have started looking at India as a huge market because India has evolved significantly in the last 3-4 years.

If you look at any big corporation in India, their needs are similar to any big enterprise in the US or Europe. True, typical small businesses in the US, Japan and Europe use technology more, while in India they don't.

When you develop a particular product, do you give consideration to any market?

It depends on the product though we generally look at the developed global market like the US, Europe, Japan, etc. There are some products we develop for India and other developing markets too.
