AVINASH VASHISTHA, CEO, THOLONS: In
order for cities to become centers of excellence, they will have to carve out a
specific niche and become specialists in one or two areas. To stay in the game,
individual cities will need to understand their own potential offerings, refine
and focus them, and market themselves wisely.
