Dear Fellow Global Trader - We are living in remarkable times. Please consider:
	A globally-connected world conducts commerce unprecedented in both its speed and its scale.
	As tariffs fall, India has emerged as a colossal U.S. trade partner – free of the political uncertainties that threaten America’s other key trade relationships.
	In a historic development, the cost (financial, social and political) of bring goods to market has suddenly collapsed. Small and medium businesses stand to benefit most.
	Pulitzer prize winning author Thomas Friedman writes about this phenomenon in his new book The World is Flat. His conclusion – the world has changed forever - and India can be the big winner.
••• The trade statistics are in for the first half of 2005 - and the results are very exciting:
	A 31% increase in Indian textiles exported to the United States.
	U.S. imports of textiles and apparel jumped 10%
	according to the World Trade Organization, the end to quotas and the loosening of regulations are expected to quadruple India’s share of the USD $400 billion world textile market, from 4% to 15%.
MarketPlace-India will connect you with American buyers, distributors and strategic partners - even before your company commits to a physical presence, showroom and warehouse in the United States.		We created MarketPlace-India to provide businesses like yours with the marketing tools necessary to seize this historic moment.
