When Indian Consumers Shape Global Trend...

Boston Consulting Group BCG
About this episode

India has been experiencing a rapid transformation over the past decade. The government has made massive investments in physical and digital public infrastructure, and its share of affluent consumers has grown considerably. It’s also young – over half of India’s 1.4 billion people are under the age of 30. In this episode, BCG’s Kanika Sanghi imagines how India’s rising consumer class could change the global economy, from setting trends to pioneering new business models. Sanghi's advice is that business leaders across industries should start planning now to capitalize on India’s growth story.
