Engaging the Indian market

With some 1.1 billion people, diverse regions, and a vibrant democracy, India has been making progress on a scale, size and pace that is unprecedented in its own history. As a result India has been projected to show the fastest growth between 2005 and 2020. India, which is now the fourth largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity is set to overtake Japan and become the third major economic power by 2020.

The growth of India has impacted upon the global economy to such an extent that every major foreign company must have a coherent strategy to engage the Indian economy. India’s growth model is driven by a number of factors including the rapid rise of the middle class, the growth in the services sector as well as the significant inflow of foreign direct investment into the country.

Another key factor is the internationalization of Indian companies. Indian firms are rapidly entering the international arena – predominantly in extractive industries, banking, IT, telecoms and the services sectors. A focal point of this internationalization is Africa. Indian companies have entered key African economies in an array of sectors and this trend is set to continue to grow.
