Globally business has just emerged from the unique event of the pandemic that caused even the big business to fall. Those that had huge reserves of cash suffered lesser losses though the setback was large enough to create an obstacle to future growth till the losses were recovered. Given this scenario, globally businesses are searching for cost-effective options for manufacturing, supply chain, service, and logistical operations. With consumer spending still restricted, businesses are finding it tough to push forward to recover.
A study by Morgan Stanley paints a rosy picture of India’s growth, particularly in the infrastructure sector. This growth in the infrastructure industry is projected at a higher level in comparison with China.

This is attracting large corporate investors that are on the lookout for taking over these prime assets at much lower values. These investors require analysts and financial experts to manage this investment opportunity.
