the title is clickbait. If we are looking at Asia then India is the more relevant competitor.
With a huge Valley-returned entrepreneur community as well as being open for Silicon Valley to do business, I am betting that India will grow faster. Indeed Ola and Flipkart&#x27;s senior management comes from Facebook and Google at this point ... and were forced to innovate faster and harder when Amazon and Uber entered India.
This happens across all categories of startups. Sure China has a larger customer segment than India at this point, but that is not something that is going to continue for long.<p>Oh and fundamental freedom and democratic rights go a long way to attract talent. Its not for nothing that talent chose to settle in the extremely vibrant and tolerant San Francisco area. Pretty much the exact same reason why Delhi and Bangalore drive most of the tech ecosystem in India.<p>The biggest problem I see with India is lack of infrastructure at the same level as China. That I admit, is going to be a make or break.
