Going by the conventional wisdom of people, India should be an export-led country and we have to grow like Japan, South Korea and China. But this is not the right vision. India’s growth will be funded by the domestic consumption and not by exports, and it will be led by small businesses. Domestic consumption, small businesses and services are the three important aspects for the country’s growth,
said, Nandan Nilekani, former Chairman of UIDAI at Think Next Summer 2016,Microsoft Accelerator’s flagship forum. He was there to speak on ‘An alternate view of the future: India in the age of technological disruption.’
He mentioned that the growth of the Indian economy will be driven by services with manufacturing and outsourcing starting to reverse with the rise of technologies like IoT, robotics and 3D printing.
