Primed for Primetime: Tracking India's Transformation

Four Seasons Hotel Singapore - ESG Crescent presented by Bank of Singapore

Caught at a favorable confluence of economic and demographic trends, India faces big opportunities to seize the moment for growth. Today, the country is seen as an opportune destination for foreign investment looking to leverage its large pool of skilled labor, sizable manufacturing base, and highly digitized population. The potential is hard to ignore; the country boasts almost 700 million internet users, and 600 million residents aged between 18 and 35 years. These demographics signal a huge workforce and market if India plays its cards right. Can India move fast enough to capture this window of opportunity and become the fifth Asian Tiger?
