Mr. S.B.Anumolu, President of the Indus Foundation said that global networks have contributed significantly to the success of Silicon Valley, USA. It has been possible for the USA to benefit directly from the information technology boom in India by being connected. He said that the success of India will have to be not only from cheap labor but also from attracting global R&D activities. Recent trends indicate that USA is keen to establish connections with the new powerhouse economy of India — not only in downstream industries but also in upstream science.
