26. Conclusion
For too long has the Indian economy been
ignored as a market to be invested in &
monetized, the lack of talent & interest being the
expressed and obvious reasons but the 21st
century has brought with it the much anticipated
and desperately needed change with increased
and rapid rise in interest in the sport that once
brought glory to this mighty economy, Investment
in the sport is on the rise with the incentive to
commercialize and position brands in a 1.4 billion
strong economy attracting worldwide interests.
