India is a mixture of cultures, religions and economies, making it an important country for the Greater Seattle region to examine. The largest democracy in the world and second-largest country (second only to China in population), India has moved onto the world stage in the last ten years, buoyed by success in information technology, a strategic location and the benefits of expanding globalization. The World Bank ranks India’s GDP of $1,171 billion in 2007. It is an ancient country full of youth, with 33 percent of Indians under the age of 15 years. India also has a growing middle class making it an important current and future trading partner for our region, with Washington exports totaling over $2.3 billion in 2008. Top export commodities from Washington State to India are transportation equipment, computers and electronic products and wood/paper products. Many small to medium sized companies from the Greater Seattle region have significant business interests in India and some are already actively doing business with the country.
Join the Trade Alliance and Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies as we learn more about this growing economy.
