This would be one example of the Internet enabling services in India, which I first talked about in my post this morning, on the Indian Internet Market opportunity. Why is this better than the already existing system of travel agents? Because there is more transparency in the system, the online agent, knows that his quote can be checked by the consumer going directly online. I believe the internet will morph into its own Indianized format, just as several other industries and markets have been Indianized since the opening of the Indian economy. The exciting thing is online travel is only the beginning, as was the case in the more developed internet economies of the world, travel is only the first frontier, there are many more to come.

I agree with you that internet is a very important tool, and with the spread of computers in India, it will become an invaluable tool in the hands of the net savvy Indian. As I was writing about the elusive Indian middle class of course it did cross my mind that there have been several multinationals that have come seeking the elusive numbers in the Indian middle class, however actually this time, I am quite hopeful of the Indian entrepreneur making the most of this coming boom. Will definitely try to follow up with the bridge article on online services. Thanks, Hiren.

Some multinationals in the past have burnt their fingers by introducing products that did not appeal to the famed Indian middle class. However, this is different- internet is a powerful tool in the hands of the individual and the sonner it spreads the better. There is no option for the people but to get net savvy as there was no option but to learn computers two decades ago. Hope you follow this up with the online services "bridge" article.
