“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower” – Golden words by Steve Jobs.
In the recent few decades, India has become the Hub for many small, medium and large scale business units. One
of the main reason behind such a marvelous growth in the national image is the emerging state-of-the-art
technology along with innovative and intellectual workforce. The Indian business structure has definitely
undergone a paradigm shift over the years - focusing mainly on industrialization. The wide varieties of Indian
businesses definitely offer immense opportunities for the upcoming and the growing sectors.
The few important Indian Businesses are in the sectors of Automobiles, Auto Components, Aviation, Banking,
Biotechnology, Cement, Financial Services, Food Industry, Gems and Jewelers, Healthcare, Information
Technology, Insurance, IT enabled, Services, Media & Entertainment, Oil & Gas, Real Estate, Retail, Steel, Textiles,
Telecommunications, Tourism & Hospitality. With these numerous sectors on the bay, the scope of doing business
in India has grown in magnitude.
The Government has had a huge role in the transformation of the Indian Business scenario. To better the
possibilities and take exhaustive advantage of the business opportunities, the Government has introduced major
changes. This was in terms of macroeconomic reforms, tax reforms, finance reforms and relaxing the capital
market.
It was till a certain point of time that the overseas businesses were restricted by a lot of means to get entry in India,
in terms of money transfer, legal formalities and investment options. But then, to act as a defence of globalization,
India went ahead in relaxing many of its reforms, regulations. It all revamped the Indian private sector, exchange
control rules were eased, convertibility and trade reforms got relaxed and most importantly, the foreign direct
investment (FDI) policies got revamped.
After all these relaxations, overseas companies started expressing more interest in the Indian Businesses. With a
more liberalized process of Indian business, the number of businesses in India has grown manifold. It is at present
that more MNCs are entering the Indian business scenario and as a result improving the scenario of Indian
businesses by leaps and bounds.
Recent Business Trends – Indian Scenario by Lakshmanan M (MBA – II - A )
NOVELLA – MBA NEWSLETTER | JULY 2015 3
All developed countries are wondered and keep watching the growth of developing nation, the reason behind the
GDP growth of these developing economies, particularly India and China. If we see in India, the growth of services-
sector gross domestic product (GDP) has been higher than that of overall GDP between the FY01- FY14. Services
constitute a major portion of India’s GDP with a 57 per cent share in GDP at factor cost (at current prices) in 2013-
14, an increase of 6 per cent points over 2000-01.
The shift from primary and secondary activities to tertiary activities by the citizens of a country indicates that it is
on the path of progress. The growth in the services sector can be attributed mostly to the emergence of the Indian
Information Technology (IT) and IT enabled Services (ITeS) sectors as well as e-commerce.
Among the world's top 15 countries in terms of GDP, India ranked 10th in terms of overall GDP and 12th in terms
of services GDP in 2012, it said, adding that services share in world GDP was 65.9 per cent but its share in
employment was only 44 per cent in 2012 . It includes of Financial services, IT and ITeS, Insurance, Media and
Entertainment, Retailing, tourism, semiconductor services.
Some of the developments and major investments by companies in the services sector in the recent past are as
follows:
Zomato has acquired Cibando, one of Italy’s largest restaurant search services. With this acquisition, the
company has a presence in 20 countries. Zomato further aims to widen its international presence by
entering 15 more countries in 2015.
The private security services industry in India is expected to register a growth of over 20 per cent over the
next few years, doubling its market size to Rs 80,000 crore (US$ 12.94 billion) by 2020.
Snapdeal.com has acquired gifting recommendation technology platform Wishpicker.com. The
acquisition will enable Snapdeal to further personalize user experience and drive conversions through
intelligent recommendations.
The Government of India has awarded a contract worth Rs 1,370 crore (US$ 221.63 million) to Ricoh India
Ltd and Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd (TCIL) to modernise 129,000 post offices through
automation.

Global online food delivery marketplace Foodpanda has acquired TastyKhana in India. Now, Foodpanda
will have a selection from over 2,500 restaurants in 10 cities.
Taxi service aggregator Ola plans to scale up operations to 100 cities from 19 currently. The company,
which is looking at small towns for growth, also plans to invest in driver eco-system, such as training
centres and technology upgrade.
In China's service sector has doubled in size over the last two decades to account for about 46% of GDP. In 2013,
it surpassed China's the secondary industries for the first time. Within the service sector are transport, storage and
post (5% of GDP), wholesale and retail trades (10%), hotel and catering services (2%), financial services (6%), real
estate (6%) and mishmash of services categorized as 'other' (18%).
China’s focus on manufacturing left the service sector to its own devices for many years, with both substantial
barriers to trade and investment and every reason to circumvent them. The service sector paid no heed; its growth
has gotten the attention of the government, which instituted a five-year plan in 2011 to prioritize the development
of service economy along with trade in services (TIS). Still, the services sector’s share of GDP in China is much
lower than countries like the U.S. (79%), Japan (73%), and Brazil (69%) where it includes of the financial services
industry, Logistics industry, High-tech services, Business services, Tourism. But nevertheless this growth rate in
service industry shows that these developing nation would reach more than 70 % of GDP only from growth of
service in few years.
