(openPR) - January 9, 2008 [New Delhi / London]: In 2007, India is expected to overtake China as the world’s fastest growing economy and become one of the largest economies globally. Direct foreign investment has increased dramatically in recent years and the pace of activity continues to quicken as large private equity funds and big corporations look for new growth opportunities.

India’s middle class is expected to grow from 90 million individuals today to 351 million individuals by 2010, and the retail market is expected to grow from US$300 billion today to US$637 billion by 2015.

“Riding the Indian Tiger” presents individuals and organizations with a detailed picture of the economic opportunities India has to offer. It is an investor’s and businessperson’s guide to India’s fast-emerging economy. And, as Gurcharan Das, author of “India Unbound” comments, “Riding the Indian Tiger is useful for a business person interested in the new India, and especially for the business traveler.”

Published by Wiley, the book is now available at all major book stores and online outlets including www.amazon.com.
