Welcome to Atlanta and Georgia, USA
Georgia is and will continue to be an excellent gateway to the US and the US market for Indian companies of every type and size.
Georgia continuously ranks among the USA's top 10 states in high-profile economic surveys in the major categories like - Low business and living costs. Education opportunities. Job and income growth. Overall livability. Domestic and international business growth. Entrepreneurial activity. Add a balanced, four-season climate and a reputation for Southern hospitality, and you have an environment for business like no other state can provide. In 2009-2010, Georgia had one of the highest startup rates thanks to large numbers of young innovators who stayed or flocked to the business-friendly Peach State. (Quote from http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/smallbusiness/1104/gallery.top_startup_states.fsb/2.html)
