India’s services exports has grown
spectacularly over the last one
and a half decade, outpacing
merchandise exports many times
in terms of year-on-year growth.
But, can the sector provide fillip to
country’s exports by filling the growth
gap left by merchandise exports?

COVER STORY SERVICES EXPORTSCOVER STORY SERVICES EXPORTS
India’s services exports has outperformed its more popular cousin
(read: merchandise exports) over the last few years. Truth however is,
despite the relative brilliance, growth in India's services exports has been
lacklustre. Limited trade agreements, absence of defined supply cycles, and
a lack of diversification makes one wonder if this sector can fill the vacuum in
earnings caused by a slowdown in merchandise exports.
