The Brand & Name
We have decided to keep the getchee branding. Although we will no longer be using the GeoPro brand and name, services, history, and experience that GeoPro has offered over the past 10 years, we will be incorporated and unified under the getchee brand. A new getchee, with added custom services and analytics from GeoPro, has an excellent opportunity to become the leader for emerging market solutions in Asia.
Please take a moment to see some of the market leading solutions we now offer for regions in China, India, and Southeast Asia.
China is going for more than gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The Chinese are trying to prove that China is a world dominator financially and physically.
Why should other countries care?
Dignity is certainly not a concern. If you’re in retail or banking, you might want to think about rooting for China instead of your own country.
Why? Because this is what China’s showing in Vancouver represents.
1. People in China have more leisure time to enjoy sports. People have more money to spend on extracurricular activities and their respective products. There’s a growing interest in other cultures.
2. At least 300 million sets of eyeballs protected by 60 billion eyelashes of pride from China are observing every move of their competing countrymen and those of other countries. These Olympians have more power than any billion-dollar stimulus.
3. China is winning the emerging market race. You don’t see any of the other emerging countries like India and Brazil on the medal list.
Go China!

Both emerging and both have a population of over 1 billion people each. So what’s the difference between the two economic giants?
1. Infrastructure
China’s got it. India needs to get it together.
2. Class
China’s already got 300 million in the middle class. India’s got only 50 million. However, India is a country that is turning “one billion people into one billion consumers,” says Manvinder Banga, the president of Unilever’s global food and personal care division. Whichever strengthens its middle class faster is what will matter the most.
3. Bullseye
China’s got a bigger target on its chest. The news about China isn’t always positive, but any news is better than no news. Self-marketing and building better international connections will generate more economic dollars.
Two Questions
1. What major differences do you think separate China and India?
2. If you were a food retailer, FMCGer, auto company, or bank, where would you invest? Why?

Nope. Since it’s official that Kraft has taken over Cadbury, people like business reporter Simon Atkinson of BBC News have been asking good questions like the one above. At the end of his article he asks another good question, “Will it be bad for the business?” Again, nope. This is going to be great for Cadbury and all its fast moving consumer goods. Kraft also has a great presence throughout the world. Not to mention, chocolate is suiting well with booming middle classes in China, India, and Brazil. Euromonitor analyst Francisco Redruello noted that China’s middle class, which he described as 300 million strong, “is trading up to chocolate from sugar confectionery.” This is a great time for both Cadbury and Kraft.
