My comment on India to play key role in HP strategy.

HP entered India ahead of IBM. They were selling their printers in the early 1990s. They created priters that an average consumer in India can buy and played ahead of others. The other popular printer companies like Lexmark or Xerox, did not succeed like HP. Same case with their PC sales in India. It became even more aggressive after their acquisition of Compaq. However, from my view is that HP's revenue in India is greater than that of IBM's. Saying IBM will be still ahead of HP in offshore strategy, is not fully right. IBM is yet to adopt its product to Indian consumers or Industry. Whereas HP has a big lead.
