five ways to ride the india wave!

First, Name change :
Change the company name to include India. like to **** (India) Ltd from just the boring *** Ltd. If you are creative enough put India right in front of the name like India Intel (bangalore) Ltd ! this will lead to a 25% increase in m cap and never mind the results!

Second, Indian CEO:
hire an indian CEO. that will show how serious the company is about india. and in some ways only an indian truly knows how to do business in india - like the Vadafone chief who heads straight to delhi to buy something owned by a guy sitting in hong kong!

Third, Small Large India office
set up a small office in india with large plans and a large piece of land. like say a 1000 sf well furnished headquaters headed by a son of a indian minister surrounded by 1000 acres of greenery. you can be assured morgan stanley and goldman sacs will buy a part of your firm for rs 600 crore. hey, didnt they buy DSQ and pentamedia too!

Fourth , India food
make sure to serve only indian cuisine at those boring day long investor conferences. it will surely spice things up and let everyone know you are really hot on india!!

Last, List in India
then move for the kill. list your indian operations by following cairn's example. they added India to their name - Cairn India ltd . got an indian CEO with merchant banking experience .... and made some money in the process! sadly, if you cant find anything to sell to indian investors, try listing your indian head's mumbai residence in Indiaproperty.com, it may take care of a quarters profit requirements!
