But for all we know, all of them could be wrong.<BR/>As for the richie rich's, well with that kinda money, it will make more sense to shop in Singapore than in Delhi, considering it adds further to the snob factor...and the trip is hardly a bother money wise. For example, this person I know bought a Sony high-end handycam in SG purely because Sony India has a limited range & internationally outdated models on offer here..and is more expensive thanks to Indian taxes. <BR/><BR/>No wonder the stores are so deserted here!KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785149749653743057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1167121772290243642006-12-26T13:59:00.000+05:302006-12-26T13:59:00.000+05:30"Sadly, after reading BT's super-buoyant report, m..."Sadly, after reading BT's super-buoyant report, more luxury brands will set up shop in India.
