India is poised to overtake China in 2008 as the world's fastest growing economy and is becoming one of the largest economies globally. Direct foreign investment in India has increased dramatically over the past three years and the pace of activity continues to quicken as large private equity funds create New emerging market funds and corporations continue to look for New revenue growth. The middle is expected to grow from 90 million individuals today to 351 million individuals by 2010 and the retail market is expected to grow from 300 billion dollars today to 637 billion dollars by 2015. However, many companies have yet to take a close look at India and the information they currently have is limited and/or outdated. This book will provide individuals and groups that have an interest in this vast market with a detailed picture of the economic opportunities it may provide.
