India is currently riding the wave of the four big trends – demographic dividend, de-globalisation, digitalisation and de-carbonisation. A rapidly expanding middle class, intensified government spending on infrastructure, and geopolitical factors spur the growth. As a result, India is estimated to be the world’s third largest economy by 2027.

India has always been a key destination for Swedish companies. More than 275 Swedish companies are now operating in India, building long-term, sustainable, and meaningful business. The business climate was perceived as good or very good by 72 per cent of the 195 companies that participated in the survey.
