India by the Numbers
India’s defining decade, measured.
India stands at one of the most defining moments in its modern history. Home to the world’s largest population, one of the youngest workforces, a rapidly expanding economy, and globally recognised digital public infrastructure, the country is reshaping its role on the world stage.
