Germany bets on India to reduce reliance on China

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is leading a delegation to New Delhi to enhance market access in India. This is part of Germany's strategy to reduce reliance on China. German firms see growth potential in India, despite investment hurdles. Trade between Germany and India reached a new peak in...

What's up with this new German maska-lagana?
Are they that desperate to sell us the submarines?

Basically they're screwed hard by chinese manufacturing supremacy and now are desperate to "forge ties" with India, while still not abandoning their woke/nazi baboonery.


This was released few days ago by the german shepherds regarding the same. This is their "India strategy" minus Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

A very disturbing read.

People willing to take such risks speaks a great failure of Indian political class to generate meaningful employment. These young men have barely any education. Blue color work is looked down upon. What exactly is the future for such young men?

It has little to do with meaningful employment, but the wage differential that exists b/w a $80k per capita country and a $2.5k per capita country. Life is all about choices

if democrats were not losing votes because of this illegal immigration issue, CNN would have put a positive spin on this story using phrases like "murican dream", "land of the free" blah blah.

murican softpower invited these young men to come, now murican softpower is sowing doubts in potential immigrant to prevent them from coming. i won't be surpised if we find later, illegal immigration dropped both in their northern border and the south is because, voting date to so close that democrats can't make voter IDs for these immigrants anymore.

Indians don't have to guilt trip themselves on this.

Not really. They are taking potshots at the incumbent Indian govt (read Modi) only. Gloomberg too published a few articles on it iirc.

They do not want to guilt trip random Indians on it. Their target is the gormint (who, they 'think', are failing India's 'educated youth').

Truth be told, you can never generate enough employment in India. Chinkus succeded to an extent but had to be content with some devastating trade-offs. Whether those trade-offs were worth it might be a matter of contention but you just cannot replicate their 'success' in 2024 - there will probably never be another Asian (or African) tiger; the pre GFC era lolbert utopia is gone.

We do lose out on some exceptionally talented folks (a tiny minority among the Indian immigrants) but that is about it. It does not make sense to do rr on 'muh brain drain'. As far as these 'illegals' are concerned I don't think even the columnists have a clue (Uncle Sam himself cannot provide the stats, haha) so no point speculating over it.

India will need 1.7 billion sq ft of office space in next 10 years to cater to the growing demand

India's office space demand surges, fueled by GCCs and the IT sector. Predicted 1.7 billion sq ft required by 2030 with 2400 GCCs. Neel Raheja emphasizes growth in Tier 2 & 3 cities. Manufacturing land value and retail consumption expected to rise.

economictimes.indiatimes.com

See, I know it's not going to be easy, but it is still possible to be number 2.

Just checked online, average square feet needed per employee is from 120-175, so even if we take high estimate of 170, 1.7 billion sq feet converts to 10 million office jobs. Add supporting services to cater to those 10 million people (shops, contruction, schools, hospitals etc), it means 20-25 million jobs (Plus families of these people, so make it 50-60 million). This is just from these services based offices, there will be growth due to manufacturing and other businesses as well, definitely will need growth in tier 2 cities.

Worst part? Local bodies building no new CBDs in our cities (except rendered garbage that they'll build at their babuspeed) India arguably is the lowest IQ race on earth when it comes to urban planning and development.

Be ready for more population explosion in Bangalore. Hyderabad was actually planning under BRS, not sure what Congress will do.

We need to expand our smaller cities (less than 50 lakh pop). Cities like Lucknow, VIzag, Jaipur, Kochi, Trivandrum, Chandigarh/Mohali, Bhubaneshwar, Indore, Nashik, Nagpur, Vadodara, Bhopal, etc. Should try to scale up these cities with new services jobs that are coming in. Will save overcrowding in bigger metro areas.

Look at China, they have 16 cities with population between 5 to 10 million, 8 with over 10 million. We are close to them in 10 million + metros, but have only 3 metro areas between 5-10 million.

These are the 100 biggest cities in china. People don't realise but most of them are satellite cities of bigger cities or sister cities of each other built up phase wise one after the other. This is ideally what India should be doing, is that happening? Not on a large scale. Especially in Bangalore and Hyderabad. At least Hyderabad built Neopolis and other newer areas on outskirts along the outer ring road, Bangalore is screwed up badly.

Amaravati, GIFT City and all are cool but will never become large as satellite cities of bigger cities will.
Chadigarh (A major UT) took 7 decades to hit a million people, Dwarka subcity touched that figure in just 2-3. Hope you get the point.

The only reason delhi is a shithole today is not poverty but lack of large scale housing and urban planning. Entire city is just erstwhile Haryana villages stitched together in a city surrounding the lutyen's delhi. The very fact that it took a private company to build the only proper CBD in Delhi shows how utterly useless local bodies are.


Biggest loser undoubtedly will be bangalore, even with the new "KWIN" city they've launched recently, thats still on paper. It has the highest office space consumption, and has no proper CBD.


Every fast growing city should be building new areas and create new satellite cities before it's too late.
