Foreign foray

Article Abstract:

Indian watch manufacturer Titan has become the first Indian company to successfully establish a consumer brand on foreign markets. The company has been able to produce relatively inexpensive, high quality watches by using foreign technology and low production costs. It has also benefited from high-profile marketing work. It is already presenting strong competition for Japanese and Swiss watch manufacturers, and is now seeking a presence in the world jewellery market. It has been unusual among Indian companies in being aware of the requirements for being successful abroad.

Valley of hope

Article Abstract:

Elections held in 1996 have improved life in the territory and there is a strong desire for peace. There is also concern about employment and the need for infrastructure. The Indian government has approved economic aid for Kashmir and there is hope that the tourist industry can help the economy to revive.
