In an exclusive interview with Business Today's Executive Director Rahul Kanwal, Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times, discusses his views on why India is poised to become a global superpower. Wolf emphasizes that India's large and growing population will be a significant factor, projecting that by the middle of the century, India's population will surpass that of China and be four times that of the United States. He argues that if India can increase its output per person to even a quarter of the US level, which is currently below China's output, the country could potentially match the US GDP within the next 25 years. This optimistic outlook on India's economic future underscores the nation's potential to play a pivotal role on the global stage.
