When in India鈥

Are you inspired by this week鈥檚 exploration of the construction market in India? We can offer some advice to anyone thinking of making the trip, writes Deborah Duke. 

Eleven years ago, 黑洞社区 published a handy guide for UK construction folk who were tempted to travel to India to get in on the building boom 鈥 but as well as providing information about markets, clients and construction practices, it gave some handy tips on how to fit in with the locals.
