The Indian consumer never had it better. While incomes have been rising exponentially because of more job opportunities, there is more choice available in every segment. In the good old days, owning an Ambassador car was a status symbol for the rich. Then came Maruti 800, India's first small car, and now, almost every international car maker has an Indian arm.
