Each member gets 10 invites and can ask for more they run out. The idea was both to ensure we had peer-approved members and also to allow us to size up server load, bandwidth requirements etc. Going forward, the intention is to open up to the public; this is on the cards. In the meantime, if you need an invite, please give Bluespan <a href="http://www.publicgyan.com/message.php" rel="nofollow">a shout</a>. Naryan,

We should be more looking at a macro level view of the whole. With huge consumer spending that is being seen from the middle class the boom will continue as long the confidence in the economy remain strong. The focus of the government should be to expand the middleclass base and to push more people from the bottom of the pyramid to the higher levels. The critical bottleneck for future growth is also going to be infrastructure and agriculture. Both these areas need immediate attention for de-bottlenecking growth. Huge/Massive investments in infrastructure and infusion of latest technology into agriculture is the need of the hour. Sadly both these areas are not getting enough attention from the government. while Karnataka government is busy killing its golden goose of IT (which can outgrow the economy to keep the momentum) by neglecting the infrastructure issue, the centre is not coming with initiatives to usher in next agriculture revolution and supply chain management issues so as to make avail the farmers with easy access to international markets. If corrective measure and needed initiatives are not taken country will again fall into vicious economy cycles from which it might takes years to recover.
