Globalization DPS PPT-1
India obviously had the distinction of being the richest empire in world until the end
of
Mughal Rule in the 19th century. It accounted for approx. 33% of world wealth and
about 17% of the world population. Such an extensive economy could only be
maintained because the goods produced here were exported to far off destinations
in the World. Thus the concept of Globalization in India is not at all new. But modern
globalization was initiated in the 1990s when the then Finance Minister Dr.
Manmohan Singh put forward the Economic Liberalization Plan. Since then India has
gradually become one of the fastest growing economies in the world with an
average growth rate of a staggering 6-7%. This wave of globalization helped in a
rise in per capita income and reduced poverty by 10%. Even though globalization
has many effects, the most wide spread and consequential are the economic effects
that come with it, especially in a country like India.
In 1991, the GDP growth rate of our country was a mere 1.06%. By 1999, it had
risen to 8.85%. In 2022, it was 6.8% which when compared to USA’s 2.1%,
especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, seems too gigantic. Now globalization and
Indian economy have become interrelated and our economic policies are reflective
of these changes. These policies aim to promote business opportunities in this
blessed country, generate employment and attract global investments. India is only
one of those many countries which attain economic success after implementation of
this concept. The growth of foreign investment in major sectors fuels the rise of
Indian economy even further.
The export business of India is massive today but was not so forever. In 1990, it was
7% and grew to 11% in 1999. It was 26% in 2022 yeah and USA suffered a 0.9%
deficit in exports after the pandemic.
The concept of globalization in India resulted in the following benefits that helped to
transform the Indian economy and the country as a whole:-
➢ More Employment Opportunities- The sheer number of foreign investments
and the extremely favorable policies of the Indian Government have
encouraged many MNCs (Multi National Companies) to set up their units in
India. This led to new employment opportunities and gave the educated but
jobless youth a path to sustainable living.
Now to cement our points even further, we would like to present certain case
studies of the major industries of our country:-
IT and BPO
Information Technology (IT) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO): India has
emerged as a global IT hub, providing software services and solutions to companies
worldwide. Globalization played a crucial role in this development, as it allowed
Indian IT firms to tap into international markets. Companies like Infosys, TCS, and
Wipro have expanded their operations globally and have become significant
contributors to India’s GDP. As one of the largest exporters of IT And BPO services
globally, India IT exports Stood at US$157b in the fiscal year 2021-22 comprising
US$106b of IT Services and US$51b of BPO services Direct employment in the IT
and BPO Segment is estimated at 5.1m in FY 2021-2022 and indirect job creation is
Estimated at over 12m. Not only in India, but in foreign countries, this sector
constantly provides employment to Indians in such a manner, that in Western
Countries, an Indian would obviously be a high ranking IT sector official.
Automotive
India accounts for 40% of all exports of rice globally it produced 55.4million metric
tons in 2022, the Indian government put a ban on exports of non white basmati rice
due to the lack of production this year which led to rice shortage in many countries
where the rice was being exported drastically increasing the price of the staple, this
even led to Canada bulk ordering to prevent the prices of the staple from
skyrocketing, although this ban led to prices of rice reach the peak in many
countries, the prices remained stable in India.
