Risk factor

The innovative approach of Indian businessmen has blended well with Hong Kong laissez-faire economy. The strength of the Hong Kong Sindhi businessman has always been a willingness to take risks which others would hesitate to take, to grease palms if needed, to seek out untried trade opportunities, and to work through an international network of other Indians. Hong Kong Sindhis have also tried working with Indian government officials to ease restrictions on imports into India.

Hong Kong Sindhis excel at exporting inexpensive manufactured goods from South-East Asia and China to more places in the world than most of us can locate on a map. When not working with other Sindhis, they also deal with Jewish and Lebanese buyers throughout the Middle East, both East and West Africa, and Latin America. Other Hong Kong Indians have entered the razor-edged competition of quota restrictions in markets in the European community and the United States.
