Foreigners prefer to book cabs online only while visiting India

Foreign investment is always necessary in a developing country like IndiaIndia has a great manpower, educated or otherwise, and resources that are mind boggling.
From time immemorial, foreigners have always eyed India as a country with great potential for investment.  This day, there are sick airlines, textile industry, IT industry and BT industry, where any foreign country can invest and reap huge returns.  A classic example is Kingfisher airlines which is scouting for a foreign saviour since so many months, especially because they are not able to pay salaries in time for their able employees, as also because the financial institutions who have formed a consortium of sorts to lend thousands of crores are now in the process of annexing the properties mortgaged to it.  Most of these financial institutions also hire cars, by booking cabs, online or directly.

Cabs booked in Bangalore fall in two categories.  Unlike online cab booking, when you directly do the booking, through phone, or in person, you can most often see the cab that you are travelling, and also some times talk to the driver to see whether he can communicate in the language of your choice.  Most of these drivers are knowledgeable also about where to take the executives of these lending institutions to annex the property of the borrowers.  If they do their duty well, most of these drivers of cabs booked in Bangalore also stand to get a good amount as a bonus, or tip, as you would call it.


Now, coming back to our main topic, it can be said that giants the like , of Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Honda, Toyota etc., have found out already that by investing in India they stand to gain a lot, especially because manpower is cheaper in India, and resources are plenty.  Cost for operations also are very less.  Take the example of booking a cab to take the foreign visitor to the Plant some thirty kilometres away, this costs only one tenth of what it would cost in advanced European country like Germany France Netherlands or England.
