The century that belongs to India

For the first time in modern history, the centre of global economic gravity is shifting eastward — and India is positioned to become its new anchor. With the world's largest working-age population, a technology sector rivalling Silicon Valley, and a domestic consumer market of 1.4 billion people, India's economic trajectory is unlike anything the world has witnessed since the rise of the United States in the 20th century.

The Indian tycoon is no longer simply a local industrialist. The new generation — in technology, finance, clean energy, and global manufacturing — are building companies that compete at the highest levels of global capitalism. Understanding their strategies, their sectors, and their vision is essential intelligence for anyone operating in India's economy.
