One of India’s strong points is their agriculture sector. Remember! Tea is originally come from India

5. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Speaking about IT? Wow, my brain will directly think of Indian people! They’re really brilliant! India accounts for almost twothirds of the global IT outsourcing market. It’s the largest exporter of IT services in the world! Can you believe it? IT sector is one of the largest white collar job creators in the country. Based on a research, it estimates the industry will continue to grow at 9.5% over the next five years to 2020.

9. TEXTILES

India is the largest producer of cotton in the world. In the city where I come from, Jakarta, Indonesia, if you are looking for fabrics to make clothes, people will go to a place which sells a super complete fabrics and other fabrics related things and that place is dominated by Indians! Many successful Indian businessmen in Indonesia are those whose business is either in the textile area or entertainment area. Hmmm, no wonder why

10. THERMAL POWER

Thermal power accounts for almost 70% of India’s 284 gigawatt power capacity. The plants are mainly fired by coal and gas. Coincide with the country’s ambition to improve their industry, it demands great amount of power. It seeks to add another 88.5 gigawatts by March 2017.

11. TOURISM

Looking for an anti mainstream vacation? Try India! From the sunny beaches of Goa to the crowded ghats of Varanasi and make sure to visit Taj Mahal! Tourism and hospitality contributed about $44.1 billion to India’s GDP in 2015 and is likely to touch $88.6 billion by 2025, or 2.5% of GDP.
