While 37 times looks like a huge number but it is not that complex. Most of the data is auto-populated based on your invoices and supplier information. In most cases, all you would be required do is press the "file now" button.
Glad to see my home state Tamil Nadu in the list. India and each state in India is extremely diverse and there is a lot to see and explore. Much of India's rich heritage is unbeknownst to people outside India. What India lacks is excellent marketing and lacks in visitor experience. As in software, the code or a functional product does not guarantee success. It is the entire user experience - usability, help documentation, security coupled with marketing and some luck. India has a great product - novel and differentiated - but, lot of work needs to be done on marketing and visitor experience.

Nice article. It could have done with a better example for %difference. %difference is used when neither value is more important or topical than the other.
I am currently reading the "The Art of R programming" by Norman Matloff and it is a good book for R beginners. Some familiarity with maths and stats basic is obviously required though.
