8. Indian business environment
India’s economic integration with the rest of the world
was very limited because of the restrictive economic
policies followed until 1991. Indian firms confined
themselves, by and large, to the home market. Foreign
investment by Indian firms was very insignificant.
With the new economic policy ushered in 1991, there
has, however, been a change. Globalisation has in fact
become a buzz-word with Indian firms now, and many
are expanding their overseas business by different
strategies

13. Industrial sector
Post-liberalisation, the Indian private sector, which was usually
run by oligopolies of old family firms and required political
connections to prosper was faced with foreign competition,
including the threat of cheaper Chinese imports. It has since
handled the change by squeezing costs, revamping management,
focusing on designing new products and relying on low labour
costs and technology.[16]
14. Service sector
During the Internet bubble that led up to 2000, heavy investments
in undersea fibre-optic cables linked Asia with the rest of the
world. The fall that followed the economic boom resulted in the
auction of cheap fiber optic cables at one-tenth of their original
price. This development resulted in widely available low-cost
communications infrastructure. All of these investments and
events, not to mention a swell of available talent, resulted in India
becoming almost overnight the centre for outsourcing of Business
process. Within this sector and events, the ITES-BPO sector has
become a big employment generator especially amongst young
college graduates. The number of professionals employed by IT
and ITES sectors is estimated at around 1.3 million as on March
2006. Also, Indian IT-ITES is estimated to have helped create an
additional 3 million job opportunities through indirect and
induced employment.
