World-Class Companies to drive India to a $5 Trillion Economy

India needs world-class companies and modern infrastructure to drive it to $5 trillion economies in the next five years. Focus on creating world-class corporations is a must to achieve the goal. No doubt, India has been achieving a fantastic growth rate of about seven percent for the last 20 or 25 years. This is the only major economy to do so besides China. India has crossed a long way in the last 25 years octupling its GDP from 333 billion in 1994 to about 2.8 trillion or 2800 billion in 2918-19. Some of the world-class companies have contributed a lot to achieve this GDP levels.

Big corporations account for billions of dollars’ turnover. Hence, these companies contribute significantly to GDP data of a country. The scene is no different in India and several big and world-class companies are driving India to a $5 Trillion Economy. However, Indian companies are much smaller in size compared to the US, China or Japan. Reliance Industries, the number one company in India has ranked 57 in the world according to the Forbes list. Only a few other companies could manage their place in Global 500. Looking into the scenario, India has to put many efforts to increase the number of these world-class big companies and also to increase their sizes. Also, a World-Class Infrastructure is required to support these industries. A holistic approach can drive India to a $5 trillion economy.

World-Class Infrastructure to drive India to a $5 Trillion Economy

India was lagging far behind in infrastructure even in the recent past. Atal Behari Bajpayee, Prime Minister of India has started developing road infrastructure (1994-2004) and joined four major metropolitan cities with his golden quadrilateral project. Later on, Nitin Gadkari, in Modi 1.0 has doubled the speed of road construction. Prime Minister Modi gave a slogan of developing Highways and iWays. Now, BJP has promised of investing 100 lakh crore or Rs 100 trillion in infrastructure in its election manifesto 2019. BJP has a triumphing majority in the Loksabha election 2019 and we are hoping for speedy implementation of infrastructural projects. Happen this, India will have a world-class infrastructure that will, in turn, lead to many more world-class companies. We can, as a result, see a $5 trillion economy India by 2024.
