India Market Emergence oleh Orin Brightfield

India Market Emergence explores India's remarkable economic transformation from an agrarian society to a global economic player. The book highlights the confluence of economic liberalization, the expansion of the service sector, and the rise of the pharmaceutical and IT industries as key drivers of this shift. India's unique growth trajectory, diverging from traditional development models, is a central theme. For example, the rise of the Indian service sector contributed significantly to GDP, employment, and export earnings, showcasing the impact of globalization in India.

The book begins by establishing the historical context of pre-liberalization economic policies and their impact. It then delves into the specifics of liberalization, the service sector's growth (including IT and business process outsourcing), and the competitiveness of the pharmaceutical and IT industries. Through government statistics, industry reports, and case studies, the book supports its analysis of India's economic development.

The book concludes with an analysis of the implications of India's economic transformation for its future growth prospects, addressing issues such as inequality and infrastructure development. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of India's economic strengths and weaknesses.
