"Danese is also concerned about the number of Indian startups which target the American market. Yes, that market is large, but it is also distant and highly competitive. Indians would be better advised to work on problems in India."
This is strange. What does it have anything to do with free software? Why is this lady suddently concerned about Indians doing business in the US? Sorry but what I really meant was, what was she smoking?

Indian companies that target US market are missing that potential. Using local resourses before branching abroad is a strategy that has a greater chance of success, especially for FLOSS based businesses.
