The Hindu
“India will lead others in terms of growth of large economies.”
India needs to continue creating an environment of being an attractive destination for foreign investment and also ensure its fight against Covid is successful, Deloitte CEO Punit Renjen said while stressing the momentum is in the country's favour.
He said India will be the fastest-growing large economy in the world in 2022, registering a growth of somewhere between eight and nine per cent. "This is going to be India's century," Mr. Renjen told PTI in an interview.
Stressing on the urgency of prevailing over the coronavirus, he said the pandemic is an "overhang in terms of economic development".

According to recent Foreign Trade Performance Analysis data, India’s overall exports remained resilient in late 2025, even as traditional sectors faced sharp declines. While shipments of gems and jewellery to the U.S. plummeted, the overall figures were bolstered by a massive 237% surge in telecom exports, particularly smartphones. Data shows that Indian exporters are aggressively diversifying their portfolios. By deepening ties with existing partners and discovering new alliances, India is replacing lost U.S. sales with a more diversified set of trade partners
