In July of 1972 a boy was born in Chennai, Tamil nadu, in India. How could we imagine that that boy would go on to some day be the CEO of one of the most well known companies in the entire world? That boy is today known as Sundar Pichai (Pichai Sundarajan) and he is today the CEO of Google.

This is what we on IndiaFreelancers.com know so well. We in India have the abilities to be the best in the world. We have produced people who have created, invented and changed so many things in the world for the better. Today there are Indians who are CEOs and heads of companies such as Pepsi (Indra Nooyi), Microsoft (Satya Nadella) and Adobe (Shantanu Narayen). Indians are running things all over the world.

And where do they get their start? They get their start with the strong work ethic and strong sense of family and community that they learn as young lads in India. They learn to respect hard work and perseverance. They learn to respect their elders and love their families – and they take these lessons as “gifts” with them to go out to the rest of the world and bring glory to India. They let the world know that India is tomorrow’s economy. India is the world’s future.

Once upon a time the world thought that the next USA would be Japan or, more recently, China. But we have seen that this is not the case. Japan’s economy has decreased very much over the last decade and, more recently, the Wall Street Journal reported (January 19, 2016) that China’s economic growth in 2015 was the slowest rate of growth for the last 25 years.

But that is not the case with India. We are growing – and growing fast. India is today one of the most impressively developing technological countries. For all of our persistent poverty, we have large cities developing like flowers blooming. Technology, and web sites such as IndiaFreelancers.com which bring the world’s employers in contact with the wonderful minds of our great programmers, web site designers and other technological wonders in India are the bridge between the world and our wonderful young minds.

So please do not worry if today you are working as a Freelancer on IndiaFreelancers.com. This is your stage and your chance. This is your introduction to the world. The world – and its employers – are waking up to the beautiful diamond which is India and websites such as IndiaFreelancers.com serve as the introductory means by which these two worlds meet (the world’s employers and India’s outstanding tech professionals) and, if you will, marry.

Many a young person started on IndiaFreelancers.com, was discovered by a major employer on the website and was then hired to go to the employer’s country to grow with them. In India, I do not think we are wrong if we feel as if the 21st century is ours for the taking.
