Differences between Countries
Indian and American countries arrangements are quite different and similar from each other. India and the USA (United States of America) are among the two largest countries in the world. USA is one of the richest countries in the world and India is among the poorest countries in the world. Both countries are in two different continents but still both countries have a few similarities. The only common thing between these countries is, they both countries are democracies. They both were British colonies before their independence. In India and the USA live lots of different people, different attire and different languages.
In America, we usually follow the zoning arrangement, which is where the working places and the grocery stores are located in a different place from the houses. We need to drive out in a car in order to buy the things we need. In India, houses are located in the same place where stores are scattered around. They can just step outside their house, and buy food from near store. Car and any other automobiles are not a necessity in India.
The way of living in India is cheaper compared to America. The American dollar is equivalent to 55.00 Indian Rupees. For example, if they are renting an apartment in India, it is about 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees, that is 545.45 to 909.09 US dollars. This will be for a 3 bedroom apartment found in a good neighborhood. On the other hand, a 2 bedroom apartment costs in America is more than 2000 US dollars. Education is more expensive in
India than in America. For a Bachelor’s degree, the tutelage fee is 200,000 to 500,000

In addition, food is relatively cheaper in India; for a family with four members it will cost them 15,000 to 20,000 Rupees ($272.72 to $363.63). We can have excellent health care in
America, only at a higher cost. Medical bills are usually paid through insurances. In India, they can see a doctor

    India is one of the largest economies in the world in terms of purchasing power and increasing consumer spending, next to China. The Indian FMCG industry, with an estimated market size of ~Rs.2 trillion, accounts for the fourth largest sector in India. In the last decade, the FMCG sector has grown at an average of 11% a year; in the last five years, annual growth accelerated at compounded rate of ~17.3%. The sector is characterized by strong presence of global businesses, intense competition between organized and unorganized players, well established distribution network and low operational cost. Availability of key raw materials, cheaper labour costs and presence across the entire value chain gives India a competitive advantage. During 2012, the country witnessed high inflation, muted salary hikes and slowing economic growth, which affected the FMCG sector with companies posting deceleration in volume growth in their quarterly results. However, the trend seen in 2012 is likely to accelerate in 2013 as growth will come from rural dwellers that are expected to see a rise in their disposable incomes. The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is an important contributor to India’s GDP and it is the fourth largest sector of the Indian economy. Items in this category are meant for frequent consumption and they usually yield a high return. The most common in the list are toilet soaps, detergents, shampoos, toothpaste, shaving products, shoe polish, packaged foodstuff, and household accessories and extends to certain electronic goods. The Indian FMCG sector, which is the fourth biggest sector in the Indian economy, has a market size of Rs.2 trillion with rural India contributing to one third of the sector’s revenues.…
