Chanel spent several hundred thousand dollars on a single evening's festivities to announce its entry into India, and Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Gucci and the others are on their way. Nor is the traffic one-way. Indian companies are now expanding abroad. The Tata Group, the country's largest conglomerate, recently announced huge investments in South Korea, and its Taj hotel chain has just taken over New York City's tony Pierre Hotel...
