India is the world's most populous country in 2025, with a population of less than 5 billion, slightly more than China.

Some of them sound irritated, but on economic side they will have made rapid progress. The gross domestic product (GDP) will be nearly 8 trillion dollars, which is nearly four times the current level, and the 10 - year GDP increase will be nearly triple of the increase since 68 years' independence. As the population growth slowed down, this also means that per capita income has increased about 4 times to $ 6,000.

Since trade in goods and services accounts for nearly two-thirds of GDP, the integration of India and the world economy will be further enhanced. The average consumption in India is four times that of her today.

Today 's Indian economy is $ 2.25 trillion, the world' s seventh place. The composite GDP grew at an average annual growth rate of 4% from 1991 to 2016 in 25 years. By 2030, India's GDP will reach US $ 10 trillion and the annual growth rate is expected to be from 8% to 10%. GDP of purchasing power parity is US $ 8.7 trillion, third in the world. Internal consumption and investment will drive India's growth over the next decade. With a population of 27 billion people and a per capita nominal income of $ 1600, there is still a long way to enter the consumer story. Today, Indian consumption accounts for 70% of GDP, investment accounts for 30%, savings rate is 28% of GDP. India's reliance on overseas capital is relatively small, only 1% to 2% of GDP. Trade deficit is high due to imports of oil but high service exports in the form of software and remittances balance this trade deficit.

India is the second most populous country in the world, with a population of over 1.2 billion. In terms of area, it is the seventh largest country.

The Indian human development index is 135th, of which 0.586 is the middle-term human development department. In 2011, 179.6 million people live in poverty (World Bank 2014)

Gender, Indian era: 10 years ago, I started my post MBA technology career in Bangalore (now known as Silicon Valley in India). In 2007 I was an analyst supporting MBO staff of emerging companies, CEO sales and business development. I am the only young woman to play this role, surrounded by male leaders, managers, clients, engineers, and analysts. I began noticing that I do not receive the same treatment as men of my age. Gender, race, color in America: When I started working in the USA, I was the only Indian woman who did not have American brown skin most of the time. This means I do not have a famous brand school and I am a migrant worker without roots in America. I began to realize that these factors adversely affect my ability to discuss outside of the work.
