YouTube Indian site have all YouTube content but in English, they are working on introducing more Indian languages.

2) YouTube Growth Through alliances give the opportunity to increase its user-base with all these local partners who provide this site a large local content that suite Indian’s preferences. If YouTube wants to have all these varieties, it will lead to extra costs, and too much time, while local competitors are trying to move forward. This achievement would not happen alongside. The overseas goal is to take competitors in the same side, so no more oppositions and hard competition.

3) YouTube entered the market with the English language. This step was for adopting later on with local Indian culture (entered as global, then localize through alliance sources that provide local contents). YouTube promised to protect intellectual property rights of the content uploaded and protect users from offensive

    Over the past 20 years, multinational companies have made considerable inroads into the Indian market. But many have failed to realize their potential: some have succeeded only in niches and not achieved large-scale market leadership, while others haven’t maximized economies of scale or tapped into the country’s breadth of talent. The experience of a leading multinational consumer goods company illustrates the challenge: its revenue in India has grown by 7 percent compounded annually in the past seven years—almost twice the rate of the parent company in the same period. Nevertheless, the company’s growth rate in India is only about half that of the sector. For multinationals, the key to reaching the next level will be learning to do business the Indian way, rather than simply imposing global business models and practices on the local market. It’s a lesson many companies have already learned in China, which more multinationals are treating as a second home market.1 In India, this trend has been slower to pick up steam, although best-practice examples are emerging: • A leading beverage company entered India with a typical global business model—sole ownership of distribution, an approach that raised costs and dampened market penetration. The company’s managers quickly identified two other big challenges: India’s fragmented market demanded multiple-channel handoffs, and labor laws made organized distribution operations very expensive. In response, the company contracted out distribution to entrepreneurs, cutting costs and raising market penetration. • A big global automobile company has become the one of the largest manufacturers in India, growing at a rate of more than 40 percent a year over the last decade,…

Many articles on cosmetic procedures say that minor plastic surgery does not change the look all that much. One of the main reasons why people get minor plastic surgery is that they want to look younger; they want to feel their youth again. But unfortunately, the best they will ever get is looking about 5 to 6 years younger which is not much difference. There are many way to look younger such as dressing up differently. Why not buying jewelry or high quality brand of clothes? It would be much cheaper and safer considering how much money they have to spend on plastic surgeries, physical counseling, and having to have to go though the side effect from pain killers that they have to take after the procedure. So, for those who get minor plastic…
