Strategy | Technology | Incubation
Some of the finest products and services in the world are looking Indiawards for opportunity. However, the challenge of marketing to

Similarly, Indian enterprises are tempted by the lure of market-leading technology solutions, but need a simple yet efficacious way of
evaluation and integration.

and transformational technology roadmaps for Indian ones. Our services run the gamut of your requirements, and include Strategy,
Technology, and Incubation.

OPPORTUNITY
In the light of the global economic recovery, India is poised to take centre stage as an
international epicenter of sorts. Fueled by domestic demand, the country’s growth rate
remains among the strongest in the world – India’s GDP growth rate has averaged 7% p.a.
since 1997. Indian stocks rose to all-time highs on June 6, 2014. In May, the MSCI India index
gained 7.35 percent over the prior month. India’s gross domestic product grew 4.7 percent in
the 2013-2014 fiscal year. In the coming years, India could rank among the world’s top five
consumer markets.
Today, India is also a major player as an exporter of services, a manufacturing hub, and a
promising low-cost, high-quality R&D investment. Indian businesses and services tap into
the large university-educated, English-speaking talent pool at a cost unmatched in
developed economies.
3. Education is recognized as an
important building block for India
of the 21st century. The sector has
witnessed growth rates of over 10-15%
in the past years and is estimated to
be currently over USD 60 billion. The
government has taken up several
initiatives to open up avenues for
private participation and boost the
growth in this sector, offering huge
potential to private investors in areas of
education and vocational training.
India spends 6-7% on healthcare p.a. and
the sector is predicted to reach USD 150
billion by 2017, and USD 250 billion by
2020. The healthcare system has
improved significantly over the past
years, and a combination of economic
and demographic factors is expected to
grow the sector at 11% p.a. in the period
2012-2025. There is a huge opportunity
to create a better eco-system of services
and products, as well as innovative
delivery mechanisms.
The Indian IT sector’s growth
continues unabated, dominated by
foreign demand. Reasonably priced
talent, and the availability of an expert
workforce has made India the IT
offshoring hub of the world. Domestic
demand is on track to become more
significant due to India’s growing
participation in the global
marketplace. The Indian IT industry is
on its way up the value chain.
Due to strong economic growth, India
faces an acute shortage of physical
infrastructure in the form of roads,
airport capacity, and ports. Increasing
urbanisation and industrialization
demands for safe drinking water and
sanitation, sewages and green tech
solutions. These challenges have
caused the government to invest
massively in the development
of infrastructure and alternative
power generation.
In recent years, the Indian telecom
sector has evolved rapidly, and is
expected to become one of the
largest markets in the world for
telecommunications equipment. This
projected growth is primarily fuelled
by the large population demanding
wireless telephony - the number of
mobile subscribers is increasing
rapidly and reached around 1.16 billion
in 2013.
India has traditionally been an
under-served financial services
market. Life insurance penetration is
below 5%, while equity market
penetration is less than 10%. Not even
60% of households have access to
banking services today. A stable
financial services sector will be a key
driver of the country’s future growth.
