The nation has witnessed a structural shift in GDP growth due to new investments and the growth of the value enhancing services sector. Early last year, India joined the ranks of 12 countries with a trillion dollar GDP in nominal terms. Several expert groups predict that real GDP could grow at a compound rate of 6-9% over the next two decades, implying a size of the economy that would range between US $ trillion and US $ 5 trillion by 2025.India’s population is expected to go 1.4 billion by this time. Out of which more than 67% of this population i.e. nearly 940 million people will be in the productive age. This demographic dividend can significantly drive growth. India will continue to be a young country, unlike many others, with 42% of the people being below 25years of age.
