Why microfinance is not a good business opportunity?
A recent Wall Street article suggested that there is a bubble in micro finance in India. Though it may sound counter intuitive, it is true.

US needs foriegners to compete with ..er foriegners
IBM is laying off 5000 people in the US and the chances are they are going to hire more people in India. Though H1 visas has been the biggest cause of concern for many unions, the job impact due to H1 is very less compared to off shoring. One of the reasons being that hiring of H1-B visa employees does not lead to cost savings directly whereas the primary purpose of offshoring is cost savings. Having said that, there are other jobs within US that lead to cost savings but are instrumental for US… Continue
