After all what is the India Story and what has caused it ?

I have been rambling about the India story on this blog very frequently. Here is a presentation that gives you a complete holistic picture behind the Indian story. There are lot of interesting facts. Although the presentation is 60 slides long, I urge readers to browse through the presentation quickly.

Here are a few key points from the presentation:

1. Literacy rate has nearly doubled to 80% in last 20 years.
2. The middle class population has gone up 5 times since 1980
3. Per capita income has more than doubled in last 25 years
4. India is the 4th largest Economy now and in 8 -10 years will be the 3rd largest
5. The entrepreneurs are at the center of successful Indian economic model.
6. More than 100 Indian companies have $1 billion Market cap or more
7. India has young population and knowledge economy
8. Workforce will double in 20 years
9. By 2010, India will be largest English speaking nation in the world.
10. India is the largest democratic country in the world.

There is an interesting phrase for point no. 9 by Prof. David Crystal of Cambridge,

“When 300 million Indians speak a word in a certain way, that will be the way to speak it”
