China’s edge over India in Asia’s big tech arena

Mythology has captured the imagination of millions since the dawn of human civilization. Classic Greek and Norse tales passed down through generations are probably the best known globally, but every culture in every country has its own unique folklore.

Yet, mythologies rarely ever share the same characters. You’d never see Thor, a popular Norse god, feature in the battle between the Titans and the Olympians - a series of battles that shaped Greek mythology - and this piques my creative interest.

The thought of powerful characters from different mythologies brawling on the big screen (or gaming universe) would probably send fans of mythology around the world into pandemonium. However, given how complex and sensitive these mythologies can be, such crossovers have rarely been attempted.

But our premium story pick today draws the battle lines in something akin to a modern-day, cross-cultural mythological tussle: the race between the tech titans of two major economic powers of the world.

Tech in Asia not only digs into the difference between India’s and China’s tech behemoths, but also explores the underlying factors behind the gap between the countries’ respective tech ecosystems.
