An unparalleled resource of educated, hard-working,
skilled and ambitious workforce is the hallmark of India's human
capital.
That this workforce is also one of the world's youngest, adds to India's
attractiveness as an investment destination. Of the BRIC* countries, India
is projected to stay the youngest with its working age population
estimated to rise to 70% of the total population by 2030 - the largest in the
world. By then, the country is expected to have an additional 200
million people entering the job market.
English is the language of business in India and the large
English speaking workforce is a benefit to investors and employers. In
fact, more Indians know English than the population of the USA. India's
diverse cultural heritage puts Indians at ease with people from other cultures,
and vice versa.
With over 380 universities, 11,200 colleges and 1,500 research institutions,
India has the second largest pool of scientists and
engineers in the world. Over 2.5 million graduates
are added to the workforce every year including 300,000 engineers and 150,000 IT
professionals.
