India slows, becomes investment hotspot?

Why Coca-Cola, Ikea and other big companies are choosing to go into India just as its growth begins to slow.

FORTUNE – This week, Coca-Cola (KO) and Ikea bet billions of dollars on India's consumers – curiously enough, at a time when growth across one of the world's fastest-growing economies has markedly slowed.

Over the next several years, Coca-Cola, the world's biggest soft drink maker, and its local partners will spend $5 billion to expand distribution and add capacity to meet rising demand. This follows a move by Ikea, the world's largest furniture maker, to enter India with a $1.9 billion investment. It expects to open 25 stores there over the next 15 to 20 years.

Indeed, the commitments will probably take some pressures off of New Delhi policymakers, who've been trying to boost faltering foreign investor sentiment, as India's economy hasn't been growing as fast as it once did. For the fiscal year ended March 31, GDP grew 6.5%, the slowest pace in almost a decade. Sectors such as manufacturing, mining and agriculture did poorly, raising new concerns about the economy

Let's look at the fundamentals of the Indian economy:

1. A growing middle class which is already bigger than the population of the US.

2. There are more English speaking Indians than there are Americans.

3. The young age of a majority of India's population.

4. The progressive nature of the society.

5. The large number of universities churning out record numbers of engineers, scientists and PhD's.

....

The fundamentals of India's growth are still very strong. The current economic problems are only temporary.
