China has been a powerhouse of global growth in recent decades, and investors seeking the excitement and opportunity of emerging markets haven’t needed to look much further. However, the world’s second largest economy is facing increasing challenges, bringing its credentials as an obvious investment destination into question. In contrast, India is shaping up as a highly attractive place to do business, as well as invest capital. With a very large population and favourable demographic trends, it could well be in the early stages of a longer-term boom at a time when China is quite likely ending one. In short, India’s future might look like China’s past, making it increasingly worthy of consideration for investors.
