Dear reader,
After having overtaken China, India is now the most populous nation in the
world. The fastest growing large economy, the “bright spot” in the world, and now
heading G20 presidency, India is always a major talking point at international
fora.
With an impressive economic report-card, and ambitious developmental
targets, India will have a high percentage of working-age population at least
for the next two decades. While many high-income economies have greying
population, and China’s working population, too, declining, India’s unique
demographic dividend must be harnessed to its fullest. This will ensure that
while India makes rapid economic strides, it also exports skilled workforce to
all over the world. The skilled workforce has a direct bearing on the economy.
Talking about the economy, industry leader Rashesh Shah, in the last issue
of BW Businessworld, talked about India’s “The Quadruple Balance Sheet
Advantage”. This is also reflected in the corporate balance sheets.

Do keep sending your feedback.
Happy reading!
