While India has a large workforce and experienced economic liberalization and growth in outsourcing, it is not a rich country due to its heavy reliance on imports and foreign companies. India spends over 50% of its money on petroleum imports, which has led to a devaluation of the rupee and challenges for the economy. To become richer, India needs to focus on research and development to produce high-quality domestic goods, support local companies, and decrease its dependence on imports through taxation and encouraging domestic enterprise.
