Now the world’s most populous country, India’s economic growth rate is the highest among major economies today.

“In a troubled world, India offers a bright spot,” they say.

“India’s economic growth rate is the highest among major economies today as China struggles with a bloated infrastructure sector, local government bad debts, a zero-Covid policy and an aging population. At the same time, wars in Europe and the Middle East have strained global relations, while the US focuses on the presidential election.

“As the Western world diversifies its supply chains and geopolitical dependencies away from China, India stands to gain.

“The UK and India face a stellar future economic relationship with the imminent settlement of the bilateral Free Trade Agreement. EPG’s India Week 2024 is an annual gathering of change-makers, political and business leaders for high-level discussions on pertinent topics.”
