India opened up its economy in the early 1990s following a foreign exchange crisis. This led to more market-oriented domestic and external sector policies. While India has made progress toward becoming a global hub, it still faces challenges like inadequate infrastructure, difficulties acquiring land, and lack of education access. Expanding education, improving finance access, and increasing rural infrastructure and ownership could help India become a stronger global hub according to experts. Rural areas still lack sufficient roads, power, housing and education infrastructure compared to urban areas, slowing rural development.
