Innovative Approaches to Enter the Indian Market

India is an English-speaking democracy, with a middle class larger than the United States. It is the 6th largest economy in the World, growing at over 7% in 2016 and expected to continue in 2017! India buyers like U.S. products and services, and it’s the 18th largest market in the world for U.S. products. Two-way trade reached $107 Billion in 2015.India is a subcontinental country with several states. The presentation will identify which states within India are doing well and for what sectors.

In January 2016, the first 20 cities were announced; 13 more cities were selected in May.
