Comparing live in India to live in the US is just..... so difficult it is nearly not possible.
That may very well be...
The American point of view could be 'Can American companies make money in there ?'
I think the answer is yes.....The answer lies in this comparison....
Suppose a person makes 40K in US and another makes 15K in India...Who would have higher disposable income ???
I think the person in India might .... Because of the lower consumption patterns....
The energy consumation are lower because of the weather, smaller distances..transportation costs are lower..may be not because the roads situation is bad....
