CHINA – INDIA STRATEGY

Keynote and BDO (China) Consulting Ltd. have entered into a Strategic Co-operation Arrangement to provide services to Companies / Businesses / Investors for cross-border transactions between India and China.

CHANGING GLOBAL SCENARIO

Businesses across the globe are experiencing a challenging and at the same time, an exciting phase. Challenging because of various reasons like the trade war which has proven difficult for manufacturers who now find their product pricing uncompetitive due to government policy changes; for vendors whose supply chain will see radical changes. Further, changing environment norms have increased production costs if not forbidden them to manufacture certain products. 

At such a time, India provides an exciting opportunity due to various advantages like abundant cost effective labor, easy access to electricity and water supply, a vast manufacturing base due to availability of land and improving infrastructure which provides cost effective and efficient logistics. The Government of India has continued its effort in liberalizing the FDI regime while improving ease of doing business. All these factors provide a strong case for investors and businesses to look at India as a promising alternative in this dynamic global scenario.

WHY INDIA?

WHY KEYNOTE?

BDO CHINA CONSULTANCY LTD

Why India?
  • 7th largest country by area and 2nd largest population in the world.
  • Population between the age of 10-24 years (estimated at nearly 380 million) is the largest in the world. This translates into an educated and skilled work force and also an aware consumer base.
  • Projected urbanisation of 350 million Indians in the next 3 decades will lead to greater consumption.
  • Projected 5% rise in the number of people in the affluent class – from 17 mil in 2016 to 33 mil in 2025. Middle class of India is also emerging strongly – Amazon and Xiaomi already customise their products for this market section.
  • India has among the fastest growing economies of the world – in the next 5 years IMF predicts the GDP to rise from $2.3 trillion to $3.1 trillion, a rise of 8-10 %.
  • $1.5 trillion investment is planned by the government towards infrastructure. But it is projected that around $5trillion is required towards infrastructure expenditure to sustain the economic growth.
  • India has a diverse range of opportunities for the foreign investors, from consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure to energy and agriculture. India also has a vibrant set-up for start-ups and new ventures which is fuelled by an entrepreneurial mind set with government support.
  • India has become an attractive destination to do business. This has become possible due to liberalisation of Indian market which has led to free flow of capital; the Government of India taking an accommodative stance on FDI and relaxation on taxation norms. In fact, India is believed to be currently as the 2nd best destination to set up manufacturing units and the most attractive destination for investing.
