The Indian Consultant in a Global Jungle
[This is a guest post from Mohit Kant, founder of the Consulting Network, a great platform that brings together aspiring and practicing consultants, with a focus on India. Today he will share his views on consulting in India with us. Thanks a lot, Mohit!]
US President Barack Obama in his first meeting with Indian PM Manmohan Singh remarked that India is a critical player on the world stage. Being an Indian, I take pride in knowing that to be true, however, a simple translation of what Mr. Obama meant is that India is poised to grow at a considerably faster rate as compared to the rate at which more developed nations would grow. The reasons for such an assumption are obvious, as companies strive to be more competitive, they are more likely to seek out newer markets, India with its over 1 billion population and an emerging middle class provides a perfect setting for prolonged periods of growth.
Phew! That sets the context for the main purpose of this article, as more Indian companies seek out unexplored global markets and as more global companies seek out Indian markets, one Industry that is likely to greatly benefit is the “Consulting Industry”. Yes you heard it right. Mr. Consultant in India does not have to worry about slowdown in the Consulting Industry for the next years.
