We have been talking about for some time now India and its enormous potential, but it is not always easy for companies to find the necessary information to understand what are the advantages and the business opportunity of this enormous market: today Italy is only the twenty-fourth commercial partner of India on a global level.
Nevertheless India has all the characteristics to be able to start winning projects: many economists and analysts speak of an imminent overtaking against China, the economy travels at a rate higher than 7% and the current Modi government is implementing a series of reforms precisely with the aim of unleashing the enormous potential of the country and deeply affect the economic and social system, facilitating business activities.
