Grimes, Watertown, Massachusetts...
...total market cap reached $1 trillion earlier this year, up from just $280 billion five years ago. Companies in India's technology and financial sector are booming, and the world's investment bankers are paying court. Banks used to "come to India about once a decade, get spooked and pull out," says industry analyst Janmejaya Sinha of Boston Consulting Group.
