Someone said something along the line of "This alone is going to be a huge driver of India's economy going forward...". I honestly feel the opposite. This will make the country more poorer. Hey, I don't know anything about economics. But if mass production (in tech) happens always in those countries and the economy moves forward, then why, on average, those people's lifestyle is not comparable to the poorest man in the west?
China has raised a billion people into a comfortable standard of living by doing exactly this.
Taiwan, South Korea, and Vietnam all have developed at substantial rates via this method as well.
Maybe you're thinking of countries which are based around resource extraction? Because building a ton of factories and putting people to work making gadgets for other countries is pretty well proven.
