The Indian economy has consistently ranked in the top 5 the fastest growing economies in the world over the past 3 decades. Even with the pandemic, the Indian economy is projected to grow by 8.8% in 2021 according to the IMF. Some Indian economy facts:
But does this mean there’s a clear benefit to investing in India if you’re an NRI? And what are your options? Well, this blog will answer all these questions and more! Let’s start off by understanding why you should invest in India.
NRIs invest in India to create a nest egg, retirement plan, familial responsibilities, and more. Here's why you should invest in India:
Even though the Indian economy has been booming over the past few decades, the power of currencies such as the USD, Pound sterling, and the Euro has steadily increased when compared to the rupee.
Regardless of the interest rates, the value of your USD, Pound sterling, or Euro investments is likely to grow. This would mean that you will be able to earn better returns.
A point to note, however, is that the USD remains the undefeated currency. Its value rarely fluctuates and the INR is one of the few currencies that has maintained a steady exchange rate with the USD.
Apart from the obvious geographical diversification, you can diversify your portfolio with investments such as equity funds, debt funds, liquid funds, stocks, and more across sectors & industries.
Speaking to a wealth coach can help you go beyond traditional investments & get the best of investment opportunities such as digital gold & Peer-to-Peer lending.
This festive season, give your loved ones a gift that grows over time.

Indian banks provide better interest rates than the US, Australia, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries! Sounds surprising, right? But most NRIs aren't aware of this fact and end up letting their money stagnate in the US or Europe.
Setting up a retirement plan either by investing in mutual funds & stocks or by buying real estate is easier & cheaper in India as compared to countries like the US. You can also consult a Cube Wealth coach or download a Cube Wealth application.
