How China may unwittingly get tech edge over India

When I decided to relocate to Beijing from Mumbai in September 2015, a couple of concerns weighed on my mind: Will vegetarian food be available in local restaurants? Will there be compatriots to hang out with occasionally, given that the West has been perceived as the "land of opportunity" by outward-bound Indian talent for so long?

On both counts, China has sprung pleasant surprises. Little did I imagine that China is home to thousands of nonresident Indians or NRIs.

Most of them gathered on Jan 26 at Indian diplomatic missions across China to celebrate not just their motherland's 68th Republic Day but what could well be the Next Big Business Opportunity arising from Donald Trump's predilection for protectionism.
