India has always been an open market. We never seem to have any problem when foreign companies come here, build massive businesses, and end up dominating entire sectors. But look at the noise nowadays around Elon Musk and Starlink coming into India. When foreign tech giants want spectrum or market access, people demand a red carpet style warm welcom for them. Elon Musk complains & some people instantly blame Indian companies for blocking him. But nobody is blocking anyone. India has a transparent process. Satellite internet is not just another product, it is mass media and critical infrastructure. National security, user safety, and strict technical checks matter. You cannot just bypass safety rules on national airwaves & that's the brutal fact. Folks, when Pepsi came to India in 1989 and Coca-Cola re-entered in 1993, they bought out local soft drink brands like Thums Up, Limca, and Gold Spot. Nobody complained. Amazon entered every big and small city in India. Nobody protested. Courier brands like Blue Dart, DHL, and FedEx brought their own cargo planes and dominated the entire delivery market. Nobody said a word. Look at smartphones. Walk down any market in India, and almost everyone is using Chinese or Korean phones like Vivo, Samsung, or Redmi. Nobody makes an issue out of it. When foreign food giants like Nestle, Maggi, Unilever, and Pepsi entered our farm and food business, everything was normal. Foreign car and bike makers like Suzuki, MG, Hyundai, and Honda run on our roads every day with zero opposition. So why do we start complaining the moment an Indian company grows big? Suddenly, local businessmen like Adani and Ambani are seen as bad people. Patanjali talks about local Ayurveda and people act like it is a danger to the country. Why do we welcome foreign companies so easily, but question Indian companies the moment they grow? We have a strange mindset: Foreign brands like Nestle, P&G, Coke, Pepsi, Vodafone, or Vivo are fine because we do not know who owns them. But the moment an Indian person builds a big company, we start calling them names. Ramdev is called a thief, Mukesh Ambani is called selfish, Gautam Adani is called a thug, and Tata or Birla are called opportunists. I dont understand why some people always raise questions on local players: • How did Tata get the contract to build the new Parliament building? • How did Adani get big solar power projects instead of Chinese companies? • When Indian companies build sea ports in Israel or Sri Lanka, people call it corruption. But when foreign companies buy ports all over the world, nobody cares! • When foreign companies control our phone apps and online payments, it is called modern technology. But when Indian companies invest money to build chip factories here, people call it a monopoly! • When foreign companies sell us army weapons for 50 years, nobody asks questions. But when Indian private companies start making guns, tanks, and defense equipment locally, people start raising doubts! • When foreign retail companies open big stores in our malls, it is called open trade. But when Indian retail companies try to buy crops directly from our farmers, people call it corporate loot! Calling every big Indian business owner a thief makes no sense. These are people from our own country creating jobs here. If we treat them like criminals, how will our own country grow? It is time to change this mindset. India is building its own technology, its own factories, and its own future. Stop doubting local companies. Go big on India! 🇮🇳 @narendramodi @timesofindia @EconomicTimes @bsindia
