Taiwan has made great strides in accommodating the staffing needs of international
companies with operations in Taiwan. Not only have application requirements and procedures for

what was once the domain of many different agencies into a single window, many restrictions have

17. India
India is an intriguing country. It is an
ancient land, with great cultural richness and a
fascinating history. It is also a young country,
struggling to form an egalitarian and democratic
society. Both ancient and modern India
coexist. Passions and turmoil of great antiquity
are intertwined with the challenges and
pleasures of modern technology. The resulting
images are confusing, both to the outsider
looking in and to Indians themselves.
Great religions developed and spread
from India. Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs
trace their roots from India. India has the
second largest Muslim population in the world
and is home to Animists, Christians,
Zoroastrians, Bah'a'is, Jews, and others.

18. Living & Working in India
Business wise, India is opening up and international companies are testing the
waters. Foreign companies, large and small, are sending employees from abroad to live and
work in India. Foreign consultants are coming. So are specialist, educators, trainers, and
others. These people are making India their home, at least for a while.
More recently, spectacular economic growth and the explosion of offshore
outsourcing in India have brought even greater economic and social changes to India and its
population.
An international assignment to India is an exciting but challenging prospect and
you will need to adapt immediately to a new set of cultural rules including different attitudes
to status and hierarchy, communication styles and time management. One of the major
forces of globalization in India has been in the growth of outsourced IT and business process
outsourcing (BPO) services.

19. India economy: Statistics
In 2010, India’s PPP Gross Domestic Product stood at over $4 trillion, and was the
fourth largest economy by volume. The services sector, backed by the IT revolution, remained the
biggest contributor to the national GDP, with a contribution of 58.4%. The industry sector
contributed 24.1% and the agriculture sector contributed 17.5% to the GDP.
The employment scenario was dominated by the services sector, creating 62.6% of
the jobs for the 467 million workforce. The industry sector contributed 25.8% to the GDP and
employed 20% of the workforce. The agriculture sector contributed 15.8% to the GDP and
created 17.5% jobs (India Labour Force). The unemployment rate remained around 10% in 2010.
However, rising inflation became a major concern, and measures to check it are being
implemented. In 2010, the rate of inflation was around 8.6% (India Inflation Rate Change).
