India is a leading emerging economy, on course to become the world’s third largest economy by 2030.

But some 230 million people live in poverty, and there are many obstacles to development, such as skills shortages, chaotic urbanisation and poor infrastructure.

ASI has worked to address some of these problems, at the national and state level on rural and urban infrastructure, vocational training, developing the social safety net, improving the management of public finances and looking at opportunities for digital technology investments.
