POLITICAL FACTORS
In the period prior to liberalization, India's annual growth
rate was low at around 3.5%, only a few licenses were
given out for important sectors
Core industries were directly managed by the govt. as
public sector enterprises
Licence Raj established the self-perpetuating bureaucracy
that still exists in India and corruption flourished under
this system
GOI began the process of privatization in 1991.
Purpose of privatization is to improve the efficiency of
public undertakings and to raise funds for public
investment.
The banking, financial services & insurance (BFSI) and
airline sectors have become extremely competitive, but
are in need of reforms.

geographical environment affecting the business.
It also includes the considerations like environmental

Carbon footprint is the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions caused by an organization, event, product or
person.
The mitigation of carbon footprints through the
development of alternative projects, such as solar or wind
energy or reforestation, represents one way of reducing a
carbon footprint and is often known as carbon offsetting.
Carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, and the
emissions of other GHGs, are often associated with the
burning of fossil fuels like natural gas, crude oil and coal.
