India: A Snapshot
Last updated: June - 2020
Introduction
India, a South Asian nation, is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.37
billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. India boasts of an immensely rich cultural heritage
including numerous languages, traditions, and people. The country holds its uniqueness in its diversity, and hence has
adapted itself to international changes with poise and comfort. While the economy has welcomed international
companies to invest in it with open arms since liberalisation in the 1990s, Indians have been prudent and pro-active in
adopting global approach and skills. Indian villagers have proudly taken up farming, advanced agriculture and unique
handicrafts as their profession on one hand, while modern industries and professional services sectors are coming up in
a big way on the other.
Thus, the country is attracting many global majors for strategic investments owing to the presence of vast range of
industries, investment avenues and a supportive Government. Huge population, mostly comprising the youth, is a
strong driver for demand and an ample source of manpower.
