India, the world’s largest democracy recently has taken into consideration its full proficiency as a leading global financial system. The rapid economic development which India has observed since mid 1990s emerges through various noteworthy reforms. Reports by Jorgenson and Vu (2016) have revealed that after receiving several criticisms by economists for its stagnant financial system India has finally attained a prominent position among the world’s leading emerging markets. Shahbaz et al. (2017) are of the opinion that further transformations could result India to attain important achievements among countries such as China, South Africa, Brazil and Russia. Recently, the Indian financial system has been observed to be more incorporated and dependable on worldwide economy by reducing their chances of exchange rate fluctuations, inactive economic progress and irregular financial crises. The reforms which initiated during the 1990s have catalysed exceptional growth rates which were further stimulated by a significant and young work force along with an expanding consumption class (Jorgenson & Vu 2016).
The rise of the Indian middle class has been observed to grow more than 260 million with a major decline in poverty levels from 37 % to 21% over the last decade. These factors however have been identified as constructive outcome of these reforms alongside the attendant growth (Vashneya & Gupta, 2017). The purpose of the following paper is to evaluate the financial analysis of India as an emerging market for international trade and commerce. In addition to this the paper will further analyse political, economic, technological as well as social factors which can be identified to be constructive and unconstructive to the country’s financial development along with the role of national resource in creating India as a competitive feeling advantages nation among the other leading global economies.
India has achieved rapid economic growth through advanced technologies and innovation and further by giving opportunities of financial system to overseas technologies. Jorgenson and Vu (2016) have posited that India has reinforced its intellectual property IP rights, norms and policy and further maintain overseas investors who are exporting new technologies to Indian market. This strengthened intellectual property right has stimulated expansion and innovation for the Indian economy and further has invited vital foreign direct investment (FDI). Rangarajan and Srivastava (2017) has noted one of the potentially feasible aspects of India’s current innovation ecosystem known as the R&D centres which are established primarily by western multinationals with government assistance.

The economic reforms of India have been consequential to industrial restructuring with focus on competitiveness as well as global economic integration. According to Rangarajan and Srivastava (2017), the increasing economic integration of the Indian financial system signifies the mounting share of trade in the financial system and also changed structure and course of overseas business within increasing magnitudes. Furthermore Shahbaz et al. (2017) have focused on one of the dynamic factors of India’s integration with the overseas economy is through the elevated level of international business in services. These factors however has helped India to emerge as a leading outsourcing centre for software as well as other business services related to business process outsourcing (BPO) (Shahbaz et al., 2017). In addition to this, India is further attaining importance from major Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) across the world with the intention of making the country an important centre for information based services focused on the accessibility of advanced quality cost effective trained human resources and scientific and technological infrastructure (Narula, 2015). Buckley et al. (2016) have noted another factor of increasing overseas integration of India which is through FDI with both inward and outward investments. With a liberal FDI policy and an increasing domestic market with other advantages the country has been magnetising rising importance of MNEs even as Indian business enterprises further raise international intentions and have been undertaking outward investments in heightened numbers and magnitudes (Vashneya & Gupta, 2017).

The study of competitive advantage of India in retail is crucial part of Industrial analysis specifically for investment decision. As the Indian Government has been showing great inclination towards passing FDI bill in single brand as well as multi-brand retail industries, several international entrepreneurs such as have been considering India as an emerging market (Ghosh & Roy, 2018). As several global retailers like Wal-Mart, Spar, Carrefour, Best Buys, IKEA, Tesco have been inclining towards India it is essential to study its market environment to understand its competitiveness through Porter’s National Diamond (Vashneya & Gupta, 2017).

Since 1990, the Indian government has set up several Software Technology parks (STPs) with allied tax incentives, outstanding subsidies along with other managerial preferences in order to support foreign investment in Indian software industry. Reports of Athreye, Batsakis and Singh (2016) have revealed that since the last decade over 350 foreign based MNCs have successfully established R&D facilities in India. Furthermore the Indian consultancies have estimated over 1100foreign R&D centres which have significantly concentrated chiefly in and around Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad. However according to Prasad et al. (2017) the major desirability of these foreign R&D centres rely on cost effective labour along with India’s potentially extended market. Meanwhile, authors have speculated the significant proportion of these R&D centres incorporate software and variations on innovations proficiently setup by MNCs in their home countries.
Jha, Dhanaraj and Krishan (2015)have revealed that of 40,7865 patent applications which have been registered in 2014 to 2016, around 78% appliances came from overseas applicants with the vast majority aiming for inventions developed in other countries, whereas only 25% from Indian innovators. Furthermore, these foreign centres have introduced improved innovation research methods along with proficient workforce from the United States with other increasingly developed economies into India’s financial system (Kordalska & Olczyk, 2016). Such a collaboration with Western overseas investors have been identified as an important characteristic of the unanticipated rapid and achievable transformation procedure seen in countries such as China and India. However in the view of Deresky (2017) these dynamics tend to reflect great reliance on extensive FDI which furthermore shows inclination upon countries value towards IP rights of companies in providing the FDI.
Conclusion:
On a concluding note, India has attained competitive advantage in overseas industry; India has vast potential for national and international businesses. The growing GDP invites several major overseas players to deploy FDI in Indian business sector. However, India must create demands on the obtainable businesses and practices in order to result to increased rate of productivity. Furthermore, if India aims to diversify overseas investments such as government decisions it would attain greater success in attaining leading place in FDI. The Indian Government must further promote venture policies in multi-brand business and prepared to supply infrastructure as well as government support to empower the economic status of India. In addition to this, India can attain greater amount of benefits of high market stipulations, major market dimension, economy of scale, reduced access of retail and international sourcing for business sector. Thus from the above discussion it can be concluded that India has been showing immense favourability towards overseas business players to successfully invest in Indian markets.
