Internet cannot be ignored with more than 20 million users online.
Another opportunity that has come up in India is mobile. In India, there are close to 100 million mobile users. This is the time companies have to be built in the value added space.

Some of them have built a brandname, a market, the proof of concept, revenues, and a good management team. We have looked at all companies that have been formed (in the last five or six years) before finally we made the investment.
