Ten years after Narendra Modi's initial election as prime minister, India's economy has doubled in size, driven by an average 7 percent annual growth since the country opened its markets in 1991. Modi has skillfully presented himself as the driving force behind this growth, alongside promoting nationalism and Hindu pride. He has focused on visible infrastructure development and welfare distribution to the majority of India's still-poor population. While the world hopes for India's economy to accelerate, there are concerns about challenges such as job creation and political opposition to Modi's ties with influential business figures. Despite these issues, India's economic successes under Modi have attracted significant interest from global investors.
