CIGB research

The world-class faculty and students affiliated with the Centre for India & Global Business conduct cutting-edge research on topics related to India’s socio-economic development and its growing engagement with the global business community.

Already the fastest growing major economy in the world, India is set to reshape global markets in the next few decades. With 10 million young people entering its workforce every year for the next 10 years, the country has a profound opportunity to leverage new, knowledge-based technologies to transform many sectors worldwide. The Centre’s research is aimed at studying this phenomenon as well as helping India shape the global knowledge economy in the 21st century.
