India is the fifth largest economy in the world and has the second largest gross domestic product among the emerging economies. Owing to its large population, the potential consumer demand is ever increasing and consequently under appropriate conditions, strong growth performance can be expected. The liberalization of the Indian economy that began in 1991 has started changing regulatory, financial, and monetary policies leading to a higher pace of growth. The software industry in India is already a world leader. The electronics industry is likely to follow.
