U.S. Startups Set Sights On India

WSJ Online reports that, an increasing number of high-tech start-ups are basing their operations in the U.S. but setting their sights on Indian customers.

Wireless-broadband company WiChorus Inc. was founded two years ago and is based in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. But as Rebecca Buckman reports, when it actually starts selling its broadband gear to phone companies next year, it will target the Indian market.

"Silicon Valley is the only place you could do this," says WiChorus founder Rehan Jalil, an engineer who was born in Pakistan but educated in the U.S. He started WiChorus in late 2005 after leaving another wireless start-up, Aperto Networks, because he says he wanted to create lower-cost broadband technology for the developing world.
