Thought for the weekend
This is what Ajay Banga, CEO of Master Card had to say in a recent conference about India:
And only idiots like me pay taxes there…not paying taxes is a bloodsport in India, right. And that’s going to be, that’s one of the biggest reasons why acceptance in India is poor, acceptance is probably less than a million merchants, there is probably 10 million merchants and 1 million take cards and even they say the take cards, you show up with your card and the first thing will be told is, do you pay cash instead and it’s just the whole way it works, right. That’s going to take time to change.
