India’s Economic Potential and SAP’s Role
India is on an exciting growth trajectory, driven by the ambition to boost its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to a staggering $30 trillion by 2047. Considering the youthful population, massive technology talent pool, and a business landscape teeming with unicorns, this vision is well within our reach. However, there’s certainly room for improvement. Despite being a vibrant economy, India currently ranks only 38th on the Logistics Performance Index by The World Bank. The aim should be to break into the top 10!
