announced the addition of the “India – Commerce and Industry Competitive
Advantage Analysis” report to their offering.

India at the moment is attracting abundance like never before in history.
Recently the International Monetary Fund said “buoyant global economic outlook
has prompted it to revise” upward India’s GDP growth rate by 0.6% to 9% for
2007.

India today really is capital’s favorite destination. Consider the case of
private equity investments in India in 2006. According to Venture Intelligence a
total of 302 deals worth $7.5 billion were reported. In the first half of 2007,
168 deals have been reported at $5.6 billion. In terms of investment in 2006,
the top destination was China. China received around $900 million. London came
second with a little more than $800 million. India came at number three with
$746 million.

The India investment attraction can be simply be gauged from the fact that just
in the second quarter of 2007 venture capital firms have invested about $112
million across 19 deals in India during the second quarter of 2007. The
prominent Venture Capital firms already have offices already set in India to
identify potential winners and as the India success story grows so is the
attraction of newer players. Consider the case of Clearstone Venture Partners, a
leading early stage venture capital firm. With US$650 million of committed
investment capital, Clearstone sees India a favorable destination.

Besides innovation, probably the biggest fuel for entrepreneurial growth is
venture capital investments. VC investments have been only growing in India. In
2006 venture capital firms invested $508 million over 92 deals in India. The
amount invested during 2006 was significantly higher than that during the
previous year (which had witnessing 44 deals totaling $268 million). In 2007,
the VC score board so far reads 39 deals worth $242 million in its kitty.

India today has come to the forefront as a global resource for industry in
manufacturing and services. Its pool of technical skills, its base of English
speaking populace with an increasing disposable income and its burgeoning market
have all combined to enable India emerge as a viable partner to global industry.

Investment opportunities in India are today perhaps at a peak. Supported by
India’s natural strengths, the country offers investment opportunities in excess
of $500 billion in diverse sectors over the next five years.

The Government of India is committed to enabling foreign investors discover
India as a partner – with whom they can work in synergy to achieve their
objectives of growth and profitability.
