It takes a generation or two, but it happens. Samsung and Hyundai, anyone? Already, Tata is doing some ambitious-ass things.

And just in the web space, how about Zoho and SlideShare?

Generation or two? How about right now? What about all the mobile payment (MChek, Paymate) companies? Something like WiMAX is def going to be bigger in India...Dating services?

Things are already starting to diverge...it's on a smaller scale right now but it's definitely visible
