In a shift of global economic attention, India is being hailed as the fastest-growing major economy, despite recent dismissive remarks from US President Donald Trump. Analysts have called Trump's description of India as a ''dead economy'' entirely misplaced.

India remains a prime destination for foreign investment, with global companies eyeing the nation for activities ranging from manufacturing to establishing Global Capability Centres (GCCs). Indian talent, particularly in the technology sector, is highly sought after, further strengthening its position as a major contributor to global services.

Consultancy firm EY India, backed by the IMF's positive assessment of India's prudent macroeconomic policies, asserts that India is well-positioned in the evolving global economic landscape. Its youthful demographic and technological prowess bolster its growth prospects, as projected by international agencies like the IMF and World Bank.
