    Best quote from International Investment Factors for Indian Companies | Podcast

    “

    Many Indian firms are mastering the high involvement–low investment paradox, thriving in emerging markets by leveraging relational assets like trust and empathy rather than just capital. It is a strategy of controlling without owning, where separating the two partners would be like trying to take the eggs out of a baked cake.
