Increased foreign investment

Detailed Explanation

Foreign investment refers to the capital that individuals or companies from one country invest in another country. With globalization, there has been a significant increase in foreign investments in India, which means more international companies are looking to invest their money in Indian businesses. This helps India grow and develop as it brings in more money to the economy, creates jobs, and enhances infrastructure.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine a foreign company bricks-and-mortar store choosing to open a new location in India. This not only creates jobs for local inhabitants but also infuses cash into the local economy. The benefits are felt across different sectors, stimulating further economic activity, similar to how a pebble creates ripples when dropped into a pond.
