Civitas Sameer There are several reasons why India would terribly fail if capitalism is imposed here Private sectors have been very much involved in the IT sector from more than 2 decades yet we don’t have a product to sell the world, all we got is service based giants like Infosys and TCS 1/n

Civitas Sameer Followed to which, people often criticise in India the role of state controlled companies, but Today several PSUs have successfully developed there own product Thought the product is not up to the mark for first world countries But there’s a huge market in 3rd world 2/n
