‘What’s in it for me?’ and for India the government, citizens as well as public & private
industry sectors need to vest a common interest to make this country Innovative,
Inclusive and Invincible

In this document, we focus on – TE Connectivity – being Innovative, help improve quality

of living, ensure competitiveness and promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion.

India is a resource rich country including natural and human resources, and companies
like TE connectivity focus on value streams from the roost of technology and innovation,
from the smallest nano scale connectors to connectors on the Mars rover ‘Curiosity’.

India, The land of opportunity

India has been a country recognized globally as, "the land of opportunity" that provides
opportunities to individuals and corporates to explore the best of their ideas and
innovations and supports with the infrastructure and resources for investments and
growth.

For a few years now, India is witnessing phenomenal growth across sectors including
technology driven industries as well as heavy and small-scale industries. According to
the World Bank figures for 2017, India is the world's sixth-biggest economy with a gross
domestic product (GDP) of $2.597 trillion at the end of 2017. During the same year,
India was ranked 40 on World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index,
recording a jump of 20 places from 2014. India’s score has improved across most pillars
of competitiveness such as infrastructure, higher education & training, and
technological readiness, reflecting recent public investments in these areas. Our
performance has also improved in ICT indicators, particularly Internet bandwidth per
user, mobile phone and broadband subscriptions, and Internet access in schools.

With a boom in every industry, this is a classic story of a country that is striving hard to
reimagining itself for growth to unprecedented and unchartered avenues.

In this journey, India is creating opportunities for everyone: for its citizens and for its
businesses to ensure that such facilities reach to every income class that we have
currently identified from an economic recognition. In the process of reimagining itself,
India is ensuring that organizations like TE connectivity are enabled to help in this
journey, and take the country along while moving ahead on the path of growth stories.
