Versatile,
An unparalleled resource of an educated, hard-working, skilled and ambitious workforce is the hallmark of India’s human capital. That this workforce is also one of the world’s youngest adds to India’s attractiveness as an investment destination. Of the BRIC* countries, India is projected to stay the youngest with its working-age population estimated to rise to 70% of the total demographic by 2030 - the largest in the world. India will see 70 million new entrants to its workforce over the next 5 years. English is the language of business in India and the large English-speaking workforce is a benefit to investors and employers. In fact, the number of Indians who know English is more than the population of the USA. India’s diverse cultural heritage puts its citizens at ease with people from other cultures and vice versa. With over 380 universities, 11,200 colleges and 1,500 research institutions, India has the second largest pool of scientists and engineers in the world. Over 2.5 million graduates are added to the workforce every year, including 300,000 engineers and 150,000 IT professionals. * Brazil, Russia, India and China |
