MicroStrategy is not planning a development center in India

Peer BI compnaies have established IDC for quite some time but MicroStrategy is yet to setup an office in India. They currently outsource to Cybage a part of their Testing, Documentation and Widget development. It is least likely that MicroStrategy would start anything like development center, sales or consulting at India anytime for next 4-5 years. They are currently setting up the base at China and that's becoming their center too much focused. A center in China make sense for MSTR as 1) Compared to India there would be large probable customer 2) i18n into Chinese and other languages (Korean, Japanese etc) would be easy to do.

Though not development wise but mainly making the product ready into different languages (They are having it for quite some time) and thus marketing the prospective customer base is a killing thing to do business in China not in India. There are just 3 clients of MicroStrategy and Indian are brought up with mentality "sasta hai to achcha hai".
