India\u2019s booming domestic market opportunity, high quality talent pool &amp; a progressively open regulatory environment adds to the appeal &amp; charm of being a hot destination for global companies.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em><u>Let\u2019s get to know more about what are the major factors that make india a hot destination for global companies?<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. <u>Changes in Government Policies &amp; economic reform leading to high Influx of FDI<\/u><\/strong><strong><u>:<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4264 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insourceindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Change-Government.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"209\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">One of the major reasons is the changes in Government Policies &amp; economic reform leading to high Influx of FDI. FDI are the means by which overseas companies set up their back end or front-end facilities here, provide goods &amp; services &amp; do business that earns them revenues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>They can also set up a backend office or an offshore team which in turn creates local jobs and provide tax inflow to the government.<\/p>\n<p>(FDI) plays a significant role in economic development of any country and supports economic growth by meeting the investment requirements of a capital deficit economy by bridging its saving-investment gap.<br \/>India has had a dramatic digital transformation journey in the last decade and that has been accelerated by the entry of various category leading global players in the Indian market. This is credited to various policy measures implemented by the Government in the last few years &amp; due to which the rate of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to India has been steadily increasing.<\/p>\n<p>According to an article published in Reserve Bank of India&#8217;s monthly bulletin for January 2022, India has attracted higher FDI\u2019s &amp; continues to remain among the top attractive destinations for international investors.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>A few of the Relaxation in FDI norms are as follows:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The government has done away with the need for approvals up to 100% In real estate broking services.<\/li>\n<li>Department of Revenue approvals will no longer be required for FDI proposals, easing the mechanism for FDI, which will now be cleared within 10 weeks of application.<\/li>\n<li>Through the automatic route, the government of India has allowed 100% FDI in single brand retail.<\/li>\n<li>FDI in defence is further sought to been enhanced from 49% to 51% through the automatic route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FDI inflow to India is expected to reach $100 billion in the current financial year supported by various ground touching economic reforms and significant ease of doing business in the recent years, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) said in a report.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. <u>A stable &amp; Favourable government<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4240 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insourceindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Stable-Gov.png\" alt=\"Stable Gov\" width=\"305\" height=\"215\" \/>The stability of Indian Government &amp; a favourable policy regime with a robust business environment has ensured that foreign capital keeps flowing into INDIA. The Government has taken many initiatives in recent years such as relaxing of FDI norms across sectors such as defence, PSU oil refineries, telecom, power exchanges, and stock exchanges, among many others.<\/p>\n<p>Initiatives Like Make in India have helped pave a clear path for foreign companies to set shop in India.<\/p>\n<p>Make in India is the government\u2019s flagship scheme that was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014. This was done to build manufacturing infrastructure, facilitate foreign investment, create jobs, and encourage innovation. It also encourages businesses to make quality products and Provide Services whose quality exceeds global standards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3.\u00a0<\/strong><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Access to Talent &amp; Resources<\/span><u><br \/><\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With 47% of the population below the age of 25, India has one of the youngest populations in the world.<strong><u><br \/><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><u style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><strong>A snapshot of India Developing with Technolog<\/strong>y:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>India ranks 46th among the 132 economies featured in the Global Innovation Index 2021<\/li>\n<li>India Ranks 10<sup>th<\/sup> in Global Cybersecurity Index 2021<\/li>\n<li>India Ranks 43<sup>rd<\/sup> World Competitiveness Index 2021<\/li>\n<li>IT service spending in Indian reached around 18.12 billion U.S. dollars in 2021<\/li>\n<li>Huge demand in Al\/ML, IoT, Automation, Cloud, Blockchain and there is huge demand for talent with skills in these sectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4244 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insourceindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/talent.png\" alt=\"talent\" width=\"311\" height=\"172\" \/>Despite rising wages in 2021 &amp; the current tech talent being super high in demand, India remains one of the countries with a cost-effective labour force.<br \/>The cost arbitrage still places the country at a distinct advantage when compared to some of the Asian &amp; EMEA countries.Cost of labour is in fact a major driving force for India being a hot destination.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Upskilling through LMS organisations such as<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 14px;\" href=\"http:\/\/upgrad.com\/\"> Upgrad<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">, <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 14px;\" href=\"https:\/\/unacademy.com\/\">unacademy<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">, vedantu, Whitehat Jr &amp; Byjus have revolutionised the Learning thru platforms and potential to tech talent upskilling in India.
