India versus Russia

Vladimir Vladimirovich went down to India to get away from his problems in the Ukraine. This from the NY Times Putin Woos Indian Help for High-Tech Hub on 6th December makes me rather annoyed.

It's too easy to stand in awe of the Indian outsourcing model. However, Russia cannot compete in this space on price alone. It can compete under the Israeli model; invent and move to the US. Outsourcing, will never be Russia's strength they are not process oriented and their strength will be in being disruptive not in executing somebody else's idea.
