About Lesson

A. Globalisation In India Factors And Causes

[Image: Factors responsible for Globalisation]

The present era of globalisation is promoted and supported by several factors. A few of the factors which aid the process of globalisation are as follows:

Economic Reforms	In 1991, India initiated a series of economic reforms that aimed to liberalise and globalise various sectors of the economy. This included reducing trade barriers, deregulating industries, and opening up avenues for foreign investment.
Information Technology	India emerged as a global hub for information technology (IT) and software development. The country’s skilled workforce and proficiency in English made it an attractive destination for multinational companies looking to outsource their IT services. This led to a significant influx of foreign capital and expertise into the country.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)	India has actively sought foreign investment by easing restrictions on FDI in various sectors. This has encouraged multinational corporations to establish a presence in India, bringing in capital, technology, and managerial expertise.
World Trade Organization (WTO)	WTO lays out rules concerning global trade and sees that these principles are complied with.
Infrastructure Development	Investments in infrastructure, including ports, airports, and transportation networks, have enhanced India’s connectivity with the rest of the world.
Diverse Workforce	India’s diverse and skilled labour force has been a major asset in the Globalisation process. The country’s workforce is proficient in various industries, including IT, engineering, healthcare, and other service sectors, making it an attractive destination for global businesses.
Cultural Exchange and Soft Power	India’s rich cultural heritage, including its cinema, cuisine, yoga and traditions, has gained international popularity. This cultural exchange has helped foster global connections and create opportunities for Indian products and services in international markets.
Global Diaspora	The Indian diaspora spread across the globe has played a significant role in globalizing Indian businesses and culture. They have acted as cultural ambassadors, creating networks that facilitate trade, investment, and cultural exchange.
