Addressing the Challenges

Some of the challenges in India include

-         Long lead time in  Government decision making

-         Small time organizations claiming capabilities far beyond their ability - basically over promising and under delivering - causing people to realize a little late in the day that they have been cheated

-         Buyers lack the ability to discern between good and bad companies. There is no way to measure and rate companies from a government perspective.

The key factor to address these challenges is customer education. An increase in awareness on the part of the customer will enable them to make informed decisions and allow them to discern between the good and the bad.
