The global fight against inflation, the crisis in Ukraine, and a resurgence of COVID-19 in China weighed down on global economic activity in the past few months. Despite these headwinds, India has witnessed remarkable growth and transformation, positioning itself as the fifth largest and likely to be the 17th fastest-growing major economy in the world. India's growth story is a testament to resilient domestic demand, stronger private consumption, public and private investments and continued financial support from the government.

From a "red tape" economy in the early years of independence to becoming the world's fifth-largest economy today, India's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. The nation has embraced economic reforms, opened up its markets, and fostered a conducive environment for business and investment. As a result, it has attracted the attention of global investors seeking opportunities in a dynamic and promising market.
