[BangPypers] Why do indians copy?

[Zaki Manian]

I frequently speak of the challenge culture poses in doing product
development in India.

But in some sense, culture is a great problem to have. Culture can change
and fairly fast. There are also fantastic opportunities for entrepeneurs so
build microcosms of effective problem solving culture in India.

At the sametime , it is !#@ing hard....
