How many of the top "Indian Companies" have foreigners as CEOs? I can count on my fingers (correct me if I'm wrong).
P.S.: It depends on a big load of factors!

eh? Why shouldn't it belong to HN? I don't think any kind of growth with an attitude like that would be sustainable.

You don't get the whole point of it.
In India, it is known that officials in the government slack during office hours. Delaying of process for unworthy reasons. Numerous time-breaks and other infinite 'small' but aggregatively deterrent forms of behaviours in the office.
The camera moves the whole system a step forward. Transparency is more easily perceivable to the public now. The necessity of a sting operation in the office does not emerge. People can have a fresh perspective on the laws for the government officials.
Psychologically, this might build a better work environment. It has been shown that adding monitoring video cameras does add a certain form of placebo effect.
I hope the 'mantra' should be improvement, no matter how small it is. A complete revamp of the system is more like dreaming about humans taking over all the nine(eight eh?) planets, and that too in an year.
