Vijay Sharma’s moment of revelation came in October 2011 as he watched Alibaba’s Jack Ma give a talk in Hong Kong. The young Indian entrepreneur knew little of Mr Ma’s business empire, which was well on the way to becoming the world’s largest ecommerce company. Yet he was enraptured as Mr Ma talked about the scale of his operations, and explained how he had seen off a range of American competitors, not least online auction site eBay.
