25 billion NRI's!
Hospitality and travel, said Mr Tytler, were the next big things. "India is well geared to provide hospitality to 25 billion Indians who live abroad. India is also fast catching up as a coveted destination for Europeans.

I agree Pom
Wondering what would happen to India if they returned to India, we'll have to live in the ocean.  (its Million not Billion, Arun- thats 2.5 crore not 2500 crore) |

Reminds me of some people I met in India who were sure that Israel had at the very least 500 million people.

I think the world population itself is only about 6 billion!!
About Indians abroad, it must be 25 million and not 25 billion. It may be true that Indians invented zero. But that doesnt means that we should use it so generously |
