India is also the largest democracy. Its large population presents a great opportunity. It acts as a base for domestic consumption-based growth, while also presenting a large demographic dividend. The Covid-19 pandemic has created the need to have alternate supply chains outside of China, with India well-positioned to leverage the windfall gains of the China-plus 1 strategy. The country recently celebrated its 100th Unicorn and the government’s efforts to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem and facilitate the growth of early-stage start-ups must be acknowledged.
