The Indian market does provide good opportunity for investors seeking medium to long term gains. India’s long term growth story is driven by consumption, demographics and investments with the latter likely to see fresh impetus with the formation of a new government. In an effort to lessen the impact of the global slowdown and stimulate growth, the Indian Government in conjugation with the Reserve Bank of India announced two separate sets of stimulus packages in December 2008 and January 2009 to boost demand, infuse primary liquidity into the system and support infrastructure development projects. **End Summary** Topics: invest in India]]> investing in emerging markets]]> invests Indi]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Mr. Shyam Kumar is Director & CEO of Kotak Mahindra (UK) Ltd. and Global Head - Distribution and Institutional business.
