India and South Asia

Home to nearly a quarter of the world’s population, India and South Asia are at the heart of global economic, technological and cultural transformation.

The region is distinguished by rapid industrialization, a booming digital economy and significant agricultural innovation. With a rich legacy including ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley and the Maurya empires, South Asia has significantly influenced modern philosophical, artistic, linguistic and scientific thought. Today, its youth-driven workforce and thriving technology hubs — like Bengaluru’s Silicon Valley — underscore its role in global innovation and entrepreneurship.
