India ranks 46th in the Global Innovation Index in 2021 by the World Intellectual Property Organisation, and occupies 63rd place in Age of Doing Business as per the World Bank Ease of Doing Business 2020. Several factors have made India conducive for global investments. It’s not just the diverse business landscape or the fact that the country is one of the world’s fastest growing economies.
