From Underrepresented to Unstoppable: India’s Economic Journey, a Golden Opportunity for Investors

India’s economy is poised for robust growth, with projections indicating a GDP expansion of 6.6% in 2025. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is set to become the third-largest consumer market by 2026 and the third-largest economy by 2027. This economic momentum, coupled with a young demographic and ongoing digital transformation, presents a compelling opportunity for investors. The Indian equity market, despite quadrupling over the last two decades, remains underrepresented in global indices, accounting for just 1.7% while contributing 3.4% to global GDP in 2024. This discrepancy, combined with the presence of high-quality companies and strong domestic demand, makes Indian equities particularly attractive for those seeking exposure to this dynamic market.
