ViewAccording to me, my India is the best choice

to enter first to market regarding laptopsBecause the market size, growth shows is far

better to other country’s even though lacking in commercial infrastructure in the country like INDIA

The country risk is also in moderate position, so the developing nation like India is the best choice to root here.
