And India wins again!

There's a reason the major Indian generics manufacturers like Cipla have partnered with Ely Lilly [0] and Novo Nordisk [1] for exclusivity deals for GLP branding and IP even though it isn't required outside the US.

Keep screeching about H1Bs and offshoring while sweetheart deals are signed with the Trump admin [2] by lobbyng with the right leverage points [3][4][5][6] and threatening the right GOP ruled states with tariffs [7][8].

Thanks to Trump, India has finally began reversing the brain drain, and with it bringing Big Tech [9], Big Pharma (already mentioned), Big Oil [10], and Wall Street [11] back.

“This is not the flex you think it is.”

But thanks for keeping us informed.

  • You're welcome!

    If you don't value IP and knowhow that's on you. Every piece of knowledge is valuable no matter what.

    China did something similar 15 years ago when it was where India is today.

    We also know how little it costs to lobby the US. Maybe the Chinese were a bit right - it's a bit like the late Qing period.
