The EU is India's Largest Trade Partner
While India's GDP grew by 77% over the past 10 years, the trade with the EU grew even stronger.

Fasten your seatbelts!
India’s GDP grew by 77% in 10 years. And the trade with the EU by 90%.
India is rising and becoming a growing geopolitical partner particularly for Europe. And I think its momentum will continue.
The European Commission’s ongoing delegation trip, the first time including the Commission’s President, is not only a sign of strategic shifts, but confirms the importance of India as a market:
1️⃣ The EU is India's largest trading partner
2️⃣ Trade between both regions increased by around 90% over the last decade.
3️⃣ The number of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), a sign of cross-border innovation, are accelerating
A successful partnership poised to strengthen substantially. And important for both. Your (real estate) teams better be ready.
Agreed?
