At the time of Independence, many believed India’s vast diversity would make democracy impossible - and economic growth even harder. But India has done the opposite. Over the decades, the country has transformed its diversity into a powerful democratic strength, creating institutions that deliver stability, scale and speed. Today, India stands out as the world’s fastest-growing major economy, proving that democracy and development are not rivals, but partners. Free institutions, predictable governance and public participation have created the foundation for long-term economic expansion.
